Trump floats meeting with Putin and Zelensky if Alaska talks go well
The US president also said Russia would face consequences if Putin does not agree to stop the war in Ukraine
US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that if his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin goes well, he would like to have a quick second meeting with Putin, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and himself.
“If the first one goes OK, we’ll have a quick second one,” Trump told reporters.
“I would like to do it almost immediately, and we’ll have a quick second meeting between President Putin and President Zelensky and myself, if they’d like to have me there.”
Trump did not provide a time frame for a second meeting. He is to meet Putin in Anchorage, Alaska on Friday.
Trump also said Russia would face consequences if Putin does not agree to stop the war.
“Yes, they will,” he said.
