Trump Wants Russia and Ukraine to Sign Peace Deal at December G20 Summit, The Atlantic Reports

U.S. President Donald Trump wants Russia and Ukraine to sign a peace agreement at the G20 summit, the forum of the world's largest economies, in December, according to The Atlantic, which cites its sources. The report matters because the United States is trying to restart negotiations that could end the war in Ukraine.

The sources say Trump envisions himself standing between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as they sign a peace deal. To make that happen, he is reportedly willing to consider pressuring Ukraine into accepting an agreement.

One source said the president is currently furious at Ukraine and wants Zelensky gone.

The summit and the invitation

This year's G20 summit will take place in Miami on December 14–15. Putin has been formally invited, but Moscow has not yet confirmed whether he will attend.

A new attempt to restart talks

The United States is making another attempt to revive peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff visited Moscow on October 21 for the first time in many months and held talks with Putin. The day before, on October 20, Witkoff met with Zelensky in Oslo.

The information about Trump's intentions rests on anonymous sources, and the source article gives no official confirmation.
