President Trump Friday floated fresh hopes for an elusive peace in Ukraine and hinted Volodymyr Zelenskyy could join his upcoming summit with Russia’s Vladimir Putin.
Meeting with Zelenskyy in the White House, Trump said the Ukraine leader would be on standby to join the talks with Putin in Budapest, Hungary, in case a chance for a breakthrough emerges.
“Most likely it is going to be a double meeting. But we will have the President, Zelenskyy, in touch,” Trump said, adding that a face-to-face meeting between the warring parties is unlikely.
“There’s a lot of bad blood between the two presidents. I don’t think I’m speaking out of turn to say it.” Trump added. “These two leaders do not like each other and we want to make it comfortable for everybody,”
