“So Donald Trump has said on day one, he gets two phone calls: One, he calls Putin, and he says, ‘You go to the negotiating table, or I’m going to unleash everything on you.’ And then he’s going to call Zelenskyy and say, ‘If you don’t go to that negotiating table, you get nothing.'”

“And so he’s going to force them to the table and cut a deal. It won’t be a deal that either side wants or is happy with, but it will be enough to live with,” McFarland told “Rob Schmitt Tonight.”
