President-elect Donald Trump said a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin is being set up.
At a meeting with Republican governors at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club, the incoming president told a reporter that Putin “wants to meet” and added, “we’re gonna — we’re setting it up.” Any such meeting, were it to happen, would come after he’s inaugurated as president, Trump said.
Trump has said he wants to bring about an end to Russia’s war on Ukraine even before he takes office for his second presidential term on Jan. 20, and his rhetoric has raised fears an armistice would be favorable to Russia. Putin last month said he’s ready to talk to Trump.
When asked about the prospect of Putin or Chinese President Xi Jinping joining Trump at Mar-a-Lago, the Republican said, “to be determined, but President Putin wants to meet. He’s said that even publicly, and we have to get that war over with. That’s a bloody mess.”
