"There's a very good chance," Trump told a reporter when asked if he thought Moscow and Kiev could reach a deal this week.
"We had very good meetings about Ukraine, Russia," he added. His remarks came during the annual Easter Egg Roll event held at the White House.
Regarding the US-Iran nuclear talks, Trump said: "We had very good meetings on Iran."
Regarding trade tensions with the EU, Trump expressed confidence that a solution would be reached, saying: "Ultimately we'll have a deal with everybody."

"He's doing a great job," Trump said. "Ask the Houthis how he's doing."
