 Trump Says He Is Setting Up A Meeting With Putin

The Kremlin appeared to confirm that a summit was being planned

President-elect Donald Trump said he is working on setting up a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. In response, Moscow said Putin is willing to sit down with Trump without preconditions.

On Friday, Trump was asked about potentially meeting Putin or Chinese President Xi Jinping. “To be determined,” the President-elect said, referring to a summit with Xi. He added, “But President Putin wants to meet. He’s said that even publicly, and we have to get that war over with. That’s a bloody mess.”

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he did not have any details about a meeting between Trump and Putin to share, but indicated there may be some diplomatic progress. “We see that Mr. Trump also declares his readiness to solve problems through dialogue. We welcome this,” he explained. “Apparently, after Mr. Trump enters the Oval Office, there will be some movement.”

Peskov added, “no conditions are required” to begin talks. President Joe Biden and President Zelensky have maintained that Russian troops must withdraw from Ukraine to end the war. The preconditions for negotiations has resulted in no diplomacy between Washington, Kiev, and Moscow.

On the campaign trail, Trump often lamented the massive loss of life from the war in Ukraine and pledged to bring the conflict to a close on his first day in office. However, since winning the election in November, Trump has tapped a number of war hawks to staff his new administration.
