Alaska summit
Trump: Europeans could be at the second Putin meeting
Donald Trump puts great hopes in a second meeting with Vladimir Putin. In addition to the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj, European allies could also participate, he now says.
US President Donald Trump is talking to the participation of European state and government heads at a potential second meeting with Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin. Trump has been emphasizing for days that he sees the summit with Putin in Alaska on Friday primarily as a preliminary stage for a second encounter, in which the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj should also take part. Now Trump said at a appearance in the White House: “Maybe we will also get some European leaders. Maybe not either.”
At the center of the meeting with Putin will be the Russian attack war on Ukraine, which has been running since February 2022. Trump had claimed in the election campaign that he would quickly end the war. He thinks Putin and Selenskyj would make peace, he said now.
Trump evaluated the question of whether he could offer Putin access to the electronics industry important rare rare earths in negotiations. When asked whether he would agree to a reduction in NATO troops in Europe to accommodate Russia, Trump said that such a proposal had not yet been presented to him. “And I’ll think about it for later.”
