The decision on whether the Russian-US summit in Budapest will take place could come within a few days, Trump said during a meeting with reporters at the White House.
„A lot of things are happening on this front. I do not want the meeting to be a waste of time. We will see what happens“, he said during a meeting with reporters at the White House. „We have not made a decision yet“, Trump stressed amid information that his talks with Russian President Putin in Budapest have been postponed.
The US president is convinced that both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky want an end to the conflict in Ukraine.
„I believe Putin wants this to end. "I think Zelensky wants this to end. And I believe it will end," he said, referring to the conflict in Ukraine.
Trump answered affirmatively when asked if he believed there was a "chance for a ceasefire" in Ukraine.
The US president reiterated his belief that the Ukrainian conflict could have previously led to the outbreak of World War III. He said there was no such threat now.
