ESPN host Stephen A. Smith congratulated President Donald Trump for recent negotiations with Russia and Ukraine to end the current war.
Smith appeared in an interview on “Hannity” by PK Press Club on Tuesday evening and said that Trump had done “more than any administration to end world conflicts”.
“He did more than almost almost all the administrations tried to do with regard to the end of conflicts in the world and he put himself in a position where the political capital he wants to win is not necessarily so great,” said Smith.
“His desire to do it obviously something that should not be ignored and something that should be, I dare to say, applauded to a certain extent … There is not much to win for him in many of that, but he commits anyway and you have to give credit where credit is due.”

“I can confirm it,” said Putin at the end of the meter.
Smith suggested that he could hear himself in the presidency in 2028 as a democrat and was not as reluctant as other Democratic personalities to rent Trump sometimes.
Smith previously defended Trump against those who blame him for the triggering of the Russian-Ukraine war during a fiery rant on his podcast, “The Stephen A. Smith Show” on Monday.

During his Trump defense, Smith changed the former presidents Joe BidenBarack Obama and Bill Clinton for their actions in the region when they were in office, arguing that the main catalysts of this war have occurred on their watch.
“We will not be attractive as he [Trump] caused it now. They are the powerful democrats, “said Smith.” It was Biden in power when a full -fledged war against Ukraine took place, gracious Russia instigation, no matter what they are trying to tell Trump. “”
