Former President Donald Trump revealed what he told Russian President Vladimir Putin in what he says was an attempt to delay Russia’s invasion of Ukraine by several years.

During an interview on Monday night with Fox News, Trump said that he told Putin several years ago that a potential invasion would be a “catastrophe” and that there would be “hell to pay.”
