During Monday's meeting with NATO chief Mark Rutte, Trump repeatedly returned to his wife's stance regarding Russia's war against Ukraine.
According to Trump, he has "always very nice" conversations with Russia's President Vladimir Putin. But then he goes home to Melania – who sees through Putin's bluffs.
I go home and say to the First Lady: "I talked to Vladimir today. We had a fantastic conversation". She says: "Oh? Another city has just been attacked."
After another "great" conversation with Putin, Melania Trump is said to have informed her husband that Russia had just bombed a nursing home.
I just said: "What?"
On Tuesday, Ukrainians have begun to praise the Slovenia-born First Lady on social media, writes The Guardian. An X user from Kharkiv writes "Agent Melania Trumpenko" to a picture of Mrs Trump with a brooch with a Ukrainian trident. Her face is half hidden by a hat with a large, black brim.
In recent weeks, President Trump has shifted his rhetoric and expressed increasing frustration towards Putin.
I am disappointed in him, but I am not finished with him, says Trump in an interview with BBC on Tuesday.
