US President Donald Trump asked on Thursday about whether he would agree to reduce NATO forces in Europe, including countries such as Poland, to persuade Vladimir Putin to conclude a peace agreement, replied that he did not receive such a proposal.
Trump about the proposal to withdraw NATO troops from Poland: I will think about it later
– I was not presented with such a proposal. I will think about it later – he answered the journalist's question.
During his speech in the Oval Office, the US President assessed that if he were not the president, Putin would take all Ukraine. He also emphasized that more important than his Friday conversations with Putin would be a meeting between him, Putin and Zelanski. “
– And maybe we will take several European leaders, or maybe not. (…) I think Zelnski and Putin will make peace. I thought that this war would be the easiest to solve all I solved, but it is the most difficult – said Trump.
“Meeting with Zelanski is necessary”
Earlier, in an interview with Radio Fox News, Trump stated that the peak in Alaska would open the way to the second meeting in which President Zielnski will take part. He added that he was already thinking about three places where Putin-Zełenski-Trump could reach the summit.
– The second meeting will be very, very important, because it will be a meeting at which we will conclude an agreement – said the president, whom Reuters quotes.
Trump announced that he thought Putin wanted to conclude an agreement on Ukraine, but he stipulated that he did not know if he would be able to get “immediate stopping of fire”. In his opinion, there is a “25 % risk” that the meeting with Putin will end in failure. However, if the talks go well, he will call them to Zelnski and European leaders.
