Donald Trump has said Vladimir Putin has "really let me down" - and delivered a chilling warning over the threat of a world war.

The US President claimed he thought the Ukraine war would be the "easiest" to resolve out of ongoing conflicts due to his relationship with Kremlin tyrant. Speaking at Chequers, Mr Trump said: "He's let me down. He's really let me down ... I thought it might be among the easiest of the group."

Mr Trump later said the Russia-Ukraine war doesn't really affect the US "unless you end up in a world war on this, you could."
