Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary lambasted President Donald Trump as a "liar" who is "historically wrong" on issues, according to Politico.
"I think Trump is historically wrong on Ukraine and on Russia. He’s historically wrong on tariffs," the airline CEO said, according to the outlet.
The Trump administration has been attempting to help broker peace between Russia and Ukraine.

The U.S. president has made tariffs a key plank of his administration.
O'Leary, who is Irish, suggested that if he were American, he would be "a natural Republican," he reportedly told Politico in an interview.

"President Trump was elected to level the playing field after decades of unfair trading practices and restore American strength on the world stage," White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital. "He is delivering on both fronts – new trade deals are opening new markets for American farmers and manufacturers, and eight wars around the world have ended. The President is quickly delivering on all of his campaign promises, and the best is yet to come."
