‘I have a great relationship with him’: Trump says Maduro-style operation against Putin ‘not necessary’

Trump ruled out a US military operation to capture Russian President Putin, following the recent US raid in Venezuela that led to the arrest of ex-president Maduro. Trump expressed disappointment over the ongoing Ukraine war, citing high casualties and economic costs, but emphasized good US-Russia relations. The US operation in Venezuela resulted in Maduro's capture, over 100 casualties, and sparked protests, while Venezuela began releasing political prisoners and exploring renewed diplomatic ties.
