‘You Have No Idea’: Trump Snaps At Reporter Accusing Him Of Not Putting Enough ‘Pressure’ On Russia

President Donald Trump snapped at a reporter Thursday who accused him of not putting enough “pressure” on Russia to end its war against Ukraine.

Russia launched its deadliest attack against Kyiv, Ukraine, since summer of 2024, killing 12 people and causing over 16,000 to take shelter in local subway systems. Trump warned Russia that he will “not be happy” if the country continues to launch attacks against Ukraine and urged both countries to make peace.

“I didn’t like last night. I wasn’t happy with it and we’re in the midst of talking peace and missiles were fired. And I was not happy with it,” Trump told CNN’s Jeff Zeleny.

Another reporter then asked why Trump is “not putting more pressure on Russia” to stop launching attacks against Ukraine. The president said the administration is “putting a lot of pressure on Russia” to negotiate peace.

“Mr. President, why are you not putting more pressure on Russia? I know a lot of your Europeans want to see more,” a reporter asked.

“I’m putting a lot of pressure on Russia. They’re dealing,” Trump responded. “You have no idea what pressure I’m putting on Russia. I’m putting a lot of pressure. We’re putting a lot of pressure on Russia and Russia knows that and a lot of people close to it know or wouldn’t be talking right now. The prime minister knows that better than anybody. He wouldn’t be talking right now, and he’s talking. And we’re putting a lot of pressure, I think wants to make a deal. We’re gonna find out very soon. But it takes two to tango and you have to have Ukraine want to make a deal too and they’re being hit very hard and I do believe they want to make a deal.”
