U.S. President Donald Trump has rejected suggestions that the United States could mount a mission to capture Russian President Vladimir Putin similar to the recent U.S. operation that detained Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. Responding to remarks from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who implied the U.S. might act against dictators, Trump said such action “won’t be necessary” and emphasised his long—but currently strained—relationship with Putin. Trump described himself as “very disappointed” with the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict but reiterated that Washington aims for a settlement. Putin currently faces an International Criminal Court arrest warrant over alleged war crimes in Ukraine, but Trump signalled no intention of a raid. (PC: AP)
