Donald Trump has said he will meet Russian president Vladimir Putin “as soon as he can”, adding that it is “time for us to just do it” when asked about ceasefire negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, APA reports citing the Independent.
Speaking from a business summit in the United Arab Emirates this morning, Trump said he knew Vladimir Putin would not have gone to the meeting set for Türkiye today.
“I said, you know, they all said Putin was going, Zelensky was going. And I said, If I don't go, I guarantee Putin [won’t be] going,” Trump said.
“I understand that …. we're going to get it done. We’ve got to get it done. 5000 young people are being killed every single week on average, and we're going to get it done.”
Asked when he thought he would meet up with Putin, Trump said: “As soon as we can set it up.”
“I was going to, I would actually leave here and go” he said, but said he also wanted to see his newborn grandson
