President Donald Trump Says Ukraine Promise Was ‘Said in Jest’

President Donald Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine “before I get to office on Jan. 20.” It was his most discussed campaign promise.

Nearly 100 days into his presidency, Trump told Time magazine it “was said in jest.”

“Well, I said that figuratively, and I said that as an exaggeration,” Trump told Time. “Obviously, people know that when I said that, it was said in jest, but it was also said that it will be ended.”
