Trump, about his expectations regarding the meeting with Putin: “I will not make an understanding”
US President Donald Trump said on Monday that he hopes to have a “constructive” conversation with the Kremlin leader, Vladimir Putin, on August 15, in Alaska, but admitted that he does not exclude a negative result, reports Pravda.
The US president stressed that the purpose of meeting Putin is to “see what the parameters are.”
Trump said he hopes for a “constructive” conversation with the Russian leader and that he will call European leaders immediately afterwards to inform about the discussion and tell them “what kind of agreement” would be possible.
“I will not make an understanding. I do not want to make an understanding,” he said.
On the other hand, Trump says he “would like to see an armistice” and “the best understanding that can be made for the benefit of both parties.”
The US president believes that, following his meeting with Putin, there is a chance to reach a “very fast” armistice.
“We will treat with European leaders and treat President Zelenski and, hopefully, we will be very successful.”
“I expect to have a meeting with Putin and I think it will be good, but it could be bad. I am here for one reason – to get rid of a war that someone else was. It should never happen. And if I could end it – great. A complex war.” Much resentment, “said Trump.
On Saturday, the leaders of France, Italy, Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom, Finland and the European Commission have said that Trump's efforts to put an end to the war, but have emphasized the need to put Kiev security guarantees.
On August 11, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said he feels a mixture of fear and hope before the Russia-Route summit this week on the Ukraine war.
