US President Donald Trump has directed his administration to urgently arrange a meetin with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky, the CNN television channel reported citing sources.
According to the publication, it "would normally take time to plan" an important meeting between Trump and two world leaders, but this time he was reportedly "urging his team to move fast." CNN sources revealed that White House aides "immediately began planning for these meetings."
Earlier, The New York Times reported, citing a source, that Trump expects to hold a personal meeting with his Russian counterpart next week, followed shortly thereafter by a trilateral meeting with Vladimir Zelensky.
Trump later said that he believes there are strong prospects for ending the conflict in Ukraine and holding his meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky.
President Donald Trump told European leaders Wednesday he intends to meet with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in person and later hold a trilateral with Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy — suggesting Trump still sees a possibility of ending the conflict through diplomacy.
ReplyDeleteAprès une visite de son émissaire spécial à Moscou pour discuter de l'Ukraine, le président américain Donald Trump s'est dit prêt mercredi à rencontrer "très bientôt" son homologue russe, sans donner de précisions de date ou de lieu. Mais le républicain a aussi menacé d'imposer "beaucoup plus de sanctions secondaires", des taxes sur les produits en provenance de pays qui commercent avec la Russie.
