[Territorial swaps will] be discussed, but I’ve got to let Ukraine make that decision, and I think they’ll make a proper decision.

Look, Vladimir Putin wanted to take all of Ukraine. If I wasn’t president, he would, right now, be taking all of Ukraine, but he’s not going to do it.

I want to see a cease-fire rapidly. I don’t know if it’s going to be today, but I’m not going to be happy if it’s not today.

I’ve got to let Ukraine make that decision. I think they’ll make a proper decision. But I’m not here to negotiate for Ukraine. I’m here to get them at the table.

I won’t be happy if I walk away without some form of a cease-fire.

I’m not doing this for my health. I don’t need it. I’d like to focus on our country — but I’m doing this to save a lot of lives.

I want to see a ceasefire rapidly.

[T]he problem with Switzerland is that we have a $40 billion [CHF32.16 billion] deficit. I spoke yesterday to Switzerland, but we have a $40 billion deficit […] That’s a big deficit.

I really do, I hate them. I cannot stand them because I really believe they hate our country.

I won't be happy if I walk away without some form of a ceasefire.

I'm in this to stop the killing.

If it doesn't, I'm going to head back home real fast.

I’m going to make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before.

Washington, D.C. will be LIBERATED today! Crime, Savagery, Filth, and Scum will DISAPPEAR. I will, MAKE OUR CAPITAL GREAT AGAIN!

That's a great step if they're doing that. Yeah, I think that's going to happen all over the country. We want to stop crime.

There’s no deal until there’s a deal.

We didn’t get there, but we have a very good chance of getting there.

I don’t know if it’s going to be today, but I’m not going to be happy if it’s not today.

very severe consequences

I’m not doing this for my health. I’d like to focus on our country, but I’m doing this to save a lot of lives.

That hasn't been put before me.

I think this could happen all over the country.

There would be very severe consequences if Putin did not agree to end the war during their sit-down discussion.

We’re going to see what happens with our meeting. We have a big meeting. It’s going to be, I think, very important for Russia, and it’s going to be very important for us.

When they stop people, they find they’re illegal, they report them, they give them to us, etc., that’s a very positive thing.
