US President Donald Trump plans to meet with Vladimir Putin next month after completing his visit to Saudi Arabia. About this informs CNN.
At the same time, Trump admitted that a meeting with Putin during his stay in Saudi Arabia is unlikely. A trip to the Middle East is planned for May 13-16.
“It’s possible, but most likely not. I think we’ll meet him shortly after that.” said the US president.
It will be recalled that on March 18, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation that lasted approximately two and a half hours. After the talks, the Kremlin and the White House released separate statements with different emphases. The Kremlin’s message said that Putin raised the issue of ending the supply of weapons to Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire. In turn, Trump said that this issue was not discussed at all.
During the previous US administration led by Joe Biden, there were no high-level contacts between Moscow and Washington since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022.
