The American president came to Italy on Friday late in the evening. “I just landed in Rome. A good day of talks and meetings with Russia and Ukraine. They are very close to the agreement, and both parties should now meet at a very high level to “finish the matter”” – he wrote on the Truth Social portal.
“Most of the most important points are agreed. Let's stop bloodshed, now. We will be wherever it will be necessary to help facilitate the end of this cruel and senseless war!” He added.
The British “Times” wrote that the meeting of both leaders could see the funeral of the Pope.
According to the newspaper, the British and the French tried to convince Trump to meet to relieve tension. The Italian government, in turn, recognized that such a meeting could be picked up as inappropriate due to circumstances.
Trump's schedule shows that the US president will leave the Basilica of St. Piotr I will go to the airport about an hour after the funeral.
