Trump voices remarks on ‘very good’ Putin-Witkoff discussions
(MENAFN) U.S. President Donald Trump has suggested that a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky could take place in the near future. Speaking from the Oval Office on Wednesday, Trump commented on discussions held earlier that day between Putin and U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff, describing the talks as “very good.”
While Trump confirmed the possibility of a Putin-Zelensky summit, he noted that the location has yet to be decided and avoided predicting the likelihood of a peace agreement. “I’ve been disappointed before,” he said, cautioning against premature optimism.
Earlier, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio remarked that the dialogue had given Washington a clearer sense of Russia’s potential conditions for peace. If both sides’ positions can be narrowed, Rubio indicated a trilateral summit could be on the horizon. “There’s an opportunity for the president to meet with both Putin and Zelensky to try to bring this to a close,” he said in an interview with Fox Business.
According to The New York Times, Trump may even meet with Putin personally as early as next week, citing unnamed sources following Witkoff’s trip to Moscow.
Russian officials also expressed a positive outlook on the discussions, calling them “very useful and constructive.”
