Xi Jinping must do more to help find a solution to the war in Ukraine.

This is what US President Donald Trump said at a press conference on Tuesday, American time, and claims that he conveyed the message to the Chinese leader when the two spoke on the phone.

I said, you have to take care of this, because he hasn't done much. He has a lot of power, said Trump, according to The Hill.

The newly inaugurated president has made several statements about Russia's invasion of Ukraine. As recently as Monday, he said that Vladimir Putin "is destroying Russia" by not entering into an agreement with Ukraine.
