CORRECTED-Trump says drop in energy prices will prompt Putin to 'stop killing people'

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday said declining energy prices could pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin to halt the war in Ukraine.

"If energy goes down enough, Putin is going to stop killing people," Trump said in an interview on CNBC. "If you get energy down, another $10 a barrel, he's going to have no choice because his economy stinks."
