Putin and President Trump Make a “Productive” Call to Arrange Talks to Put an End to the Russia-Ukraine War

President Donald J. Trump declared that he spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin over the phone in a “very productive” exchange, concentrating on attempts to bring an end to the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine and to improve future commercial relations between the United States and Russia.

President Trump claimed that President Putin complimented him and the United States on the “Great Accomplishment of Peace in the Middle East,” describing it as a historic accomplishment that has been “dreamed of for centuries,” in a statement made public at Truth Social. Trump went on to say that he thinks the Middle East’s progress will help negotiations to end the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

President Putin also thanked First Lady Melania Trump for her ongoing humanitarian efforts with children, the President said.

Following the end of the war, both leaders talked about increasing trade potential between the US and Russia. High-level advisors from both sides will meet next week, they agreed, with the American delegation being led by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. In the upcoming days, the meeting spot will be decided.

In an effort to “bring this inglorious war to an end,” President Trump revealed that he and President Putin will meet later in Budapest, Hungary.

He added that Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine, will be in the Oval Office tomorrow to discuss his talk with Putin and current diplomatic efforts with the two leaders.
