ABC journalist Rachel Scott asked Trump about his telephone conversation with Putin, which took place last week. Then, according to the White House, the Russian leader allegedly promised to meet Zelensky in the coming weeks. "This is their business. Tango needs two, I always say. They have to meet before I participate in the negotiations and may be concluded. I think it is appropriate," Trump said.
He also commented on Putin's visit to the United States this month when the Russian president came to a meeting with Alaska. Trump called this trip "concession" and acknowledged that it was not simple for the Kremlin. "I appreciate the fact that he came. I have always had a very good relationship with him," the White House Head said. At the same time, Trump acknowledged that it could not predict the development of events. "I don't know if they will meet. Maybe yes, maybe no.
They would like me to be present. But I said: you have to decide it with each other," he added. During a conversation with journalists in the White House, Donald Trump also said: "Putin does not want to meet Zelensky because he does not like him. Zelensky does not like Putin either. " When the journalists asked if the US was ready to implement additional measures against Russia in the event of Putin's refusal to meet, Trump replied that the situation would become clear within "next week or two.
