US President Donald Trump refused to answer a question from a journalist with the MS NOW TV channel about the war in Ukraine. It happened on the evening of 9 November at a briefing Trump held jointly with UFC head Dana White. The question concerned the fact that Vladimir Putin is not meeting American demands for a ceasefire in Ukraine.
The reporter reminded Trump that for 22 months he had been making demands of the Russian president. He said: "Putin keeps ignoring your demands…"
Trump did not answer the question. He asked back: "Is he fighting against us? Where are you from?" The journalist named the MS NOW channel and added "0" — judging by the context, he was referring to ratings.
Trump said: "MS NOW is fake news. The lowest ratings in history." He criticised the channel itself, not the substance of the question.
Which demands exactly Trump made of Putin over these 22 months is not clear from the answers: they were not listed at the briefing.
