President Donald Trump said he is confident that Russian leader Vladimir Putin will “keep his word” if an agreement is reached to end Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

Mr Trump said going through the “Russia hoax” ordeal gives him confidence that he can trust Mr Putin in talks about the war in Ukraine that the Kremlin launched three year ago.
