U.S. President Donald Trump believes that both Russian leader Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky want him to take part in a potential future meeting to discuss paths toward peace.
Trump said this in a Fox News interview following his Friday meeting with Putin in Alaska, Ukrinform reports, citing CNN.
“They both want me there. They both want me there, and I’ll be there,” Trump said.
Asked if he was confident peace could happen in a relatively short time period, Trump replied: “Fairly short, yeah.”
Trump also conceded that he was wrong to think the Russia-Ukraine war would be “the easiest” of all the conflicts to solve, harkening back to his campaign promise to end the war in 24 hours.
“I thought this would be the easiest of them all, and it was the most difficult,” Trump said.
