Donald Trump has not ruled out a possible visit to Russia this year.

Axar.az reports, citing USA Today, that Trump made the remarks while answering journalists’ questions ahead of his visit to China.

“I will do whatever is necessary. I've settled eight wars. That war is getting closer. Believe it or not, it's getting closer. And we think we're going to end up getting a settlement between Russia and Ukraine,” Trump said in response to a question about a possible trip to Russia.

The report notes that Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly invited Trump to visit Moscow during their phone conversations.
