President-elect Donald Trump has announced that a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin is in the works, with Trump stating that Putin “wants to meet” and “we are setting it up.” This meeting is expected to take place after Trump’s inauguration on January 20.
Trump has expressed his desire to bring an end to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, with some experts warning that a potential armistice could favor Russia. Putin has also expressed his willingness to engage in talks with Trump.
The possibility of Putin visiting Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club is still uncertain, with Trump saying it’s “to be determined.” However, Trump emphasized the importance of resolving the conflict in Ukraine, describing it as “a bloody mess.”
The meeting between Trump and Putin is likely to be closely watched, given the complex dynamics between the US and Russia. Trump’s incoming administration has sparked hopes for a diplomatic resolution to the Ukraine conflict, but concerns remain about the potential implications of such a meeting.
