Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Friday praised President Donald Trump’s push for global peace agreements, saying she holds “cautious optimism” that his upcoming talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine, Breitbart reported.
During an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “The Will Cain Show,” Gabbard credited Trump with advancing more peace negotiations and deals in his first 200 days than any other U.S. leader in recent history. She described his approach as “clear-eyed” and pragmatic, even in the face of the challenging Russia-Ukraine conflict.
