The US and Russian presidents held a lengthy phone call on Thursday.
US President Donald Trump has announced plans for a summit with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Budapest, Hungary.
The meeting will take place at a date to be determined after “high-level advisors” from the two countries meet next week, he said in a Truth Social post on Thursday.
Washington’s delegation at the initial meeting will be led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, he said, adding that the location is yet to be determined.
Trump expressed hope that by meeting Putin, the two leaders will be able to bring the Ukraine conflict to a close.
The call “was a very productive one,” he said, adding: “I believe great progress was made with today’s telephone conversation.”
Still playing the game. Trump is essentially washing his hands of this, making it a European problem, with the US cashing in via arms sales.
According to Hal Turner the call was 2.5 hours long
May serve as a distraction to gloss over the failed up and coming talks with Xi
A train wreck Trump wants to walk away from
And maintain the illusion he is still in control
