Trump and Putin will meet in Alaska, where they want to discuss the end of the war in Ukraine. Trump emphasizes the need for an immediate peace agreement.
US President Donald Trump thinks that the head of Kremlin Vladimir Putin will want to agree to end the war in Ukraine at a Friday meeting at Alaska. According to Trump, the threat of sanctions at the largest customers of Russian oil, China and India, has contributed to the fact that Putin agreed to the proposed meeting. According to Reuters and The Guardian, TASR reports this.
Trump stressed in Thursday’s interview that he is particularly interested in the “immediate peace agreement” and if he has progressed at a meeting with Putin, he immediately calls Ukrainian President Volodymyr Greeny. However, unless the meeting does not turn out according to Trump’s ideas, in his own words “does not call anyone and will go home”.
Sanctions and their impact
“Everything has its influence,” Trump said in connection with the threat of sanctions. According to him, the secondary duties imposed on India would “basically prevent it from buying oil from Russia.” If you lose your second largest customer and are likely to lose your biggest customer, I think it is likely to play a role, “he said.
He also confirmed that a press conference will be held after the negotiations. However, it is not yet clear whether the leaders will participate together.
At the same time, the White House chief announced that they are currently discussing three different places where a further meeting with Putin could take place. The easiest way, however, would be to stay in Alaska.
