U.S. President Donald Trump said he was being &quot;sarcastic&quot; when he, as a presidential candidate, declared he could resolve the crisis in Ukraine within 24 hours.In a pre-recorded interview with a U.S. news outlet that aired on Sunday (March 16), Trump admitted to &quot;being a little bit sarcastic&quot; about bringing an end to a war that has continued to rage almost two months into his presidency.&quot;What I really mean is I&#x27;d like to get it settled. And I&#x27;ll -- I think I&#x27;ll be successful,&quot; Trump said, adding that it would be &quot;bad news for this world&quot; if Russian president Vladimir Putin didn&#x27;t agree to a ceasefire.Trump is trying to win Putin&#x27;s support for a 30-day ceasefire proposal that Ukraine accepted last week, as both sides continued trading heavy aerial strikes through the weekend and Russia moved closer to ejecting Ukrainian forces from their months-old foothold in the western Russian region of Kursk.&quot;I think I know him pretty well, and I think he&#x27;s going to agree,&quot; Trump said.(Production: Pavithra George)
