Donald Trump labeled Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky the “greatest salesman on Earth” as he claimed winning wars is “what Russia do”.

The former US president made his comments during a speech in Savannah on Tuesday (24 September).

“Every time Zelensky comes to the US he walks away with a hundred billion dollars. I think he’s the greatest salesman on Earth,” Trump said.

Referencing Russia, he said: “That’s what they do, they fight wars. They beat Hitler, they beat Napolean, that’s what they do.”
