According to Trump, he "wanted to do it almost immediately", but he did not name the exact time. In a conversation with Fox News Radio, Donald Trump stated that his main priority was advanced negotiations with Putin. After Alaska's summit, he intends to contact Zelensky immediately to "transport him to where they are going to meet. " However, the US president did not rule out that this call may not happen. "If this is a bad meeting, I will not call anyone. I go home.
But if it is a good meeting, I call President Zelensky and European leaders," he said. Trump reported that three venues are considered for the next negotiations. In his opinion, "it would be the easiest to stay on Alaska. " The American leader rated the chances of meeting Putin in Alaska 75%. However, he expressed doubts that during the negotiations it would be possible to reach an instant ceasefire in Ukraine.
According to The Wall Street Journal, in a conversation with Serbia President Alexander Vuchich Trump explained that Zelensky would invite Putin to a second meeting only if the results of negotiations on Alaska will create a basis for direct Ukrainian-Russian contacts. The sources of the publication note that the American leader is warned that the presence of Zelensky initially can complicate negotiations.
