Fox News: Putin says he wants to meet 'at some point' with Trump

The reporter said that during today’s meeting in Moscow, Putin told Witkoff he was willing to meet with Trump "at some point."

After Witkoff relayed this message, the US President said he is open to holding a meeting as early as next week if it could help bring an end to the war in Ukraine.

Later, Trump held a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and several European leaders, sharing this information with them.

Doocy noted that it remains unclear where the meeting might take place. It could happen anywhere — at the White House or in a neutral country such as Qatar or Switzerland, where such events are typically held.

According to the reporter, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said it was the Russians who expressed a desire to meet with President Trump, and he is open to meeting with both Putin and Zelenskyy because he wants the war to end.

He emphasized that while there is a possibility this meeting may never happen, it could also take place as soon as next week.

Possible Trump-Putin meeting

Earlier reports indicated that US President Donald Trump plans to hold a face-to-face meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin as early as next week. A trilateral meeting involving Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy may follow.

According to sources cited by The New York Times, Trump revealed his plans for meetings with both Putin and Zelenskyy during a call with European leaders earlier today.

The summit is expected to take place in a narrow format without the participation of European leaders, with only Trump, Putin, and Zelenskyy attending.
