Trump Floats Meeting Putin and Xi, Calls Russia's Treatment of Ukraine Acceptable
US President Donald Trump says he may meet Russian President Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping next month. He also said Russia has treated Ukraine acceptably and again criticised Zelensky.
US President Donald Trump has said he may meet Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping next month. At the same time, he commented on Russia's conduct toward Ukraine, which Moscow has been fighting a war against for several years, and once again criticised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Possible topic of the meeting
According to Trump, the main subject of any talks could be nuclear weapons control and denuclearisation, meaning the limiting and reduction of nuclear arsenals. He indicated that other issues in international politics could also come up.
Trump did not specify whether the talks would address ending Russia's war in Ukraine. No date or location for the meeting has been mentioned, and for now it remains a possibility rather than a confirmed event.
Remarks on Ukraine
Trump said Russia has treated Ukraine in an acceptable manner. The assessment came as the US president spoke about possible talks with the leaders of both powers.
He also criticised Zelensky again. The source does not specify what the criticism was about, but the fact that it was repeated suggests the US president's stance toward the Ukrainian leader has not changed.
