Ahead Of Their Much Hyped Alaska Summit , US Presdent Donald Trump Had Said This To Russia
Both leaders are scheduled to discuss a potential ceasefire in the Ukraine war on August 15 at the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska’s Anchorage.
US President Donald Trump warned Russian President Vladimir Putin of “very severe consequences” if Russia doesn’t agree to stop the war with Ukraine after their meeting in Alaska on August 15.
“Yes. There will be consequences. I don’t have to say (on the type of consequences). There will be very severe consequences,” said Trump while answering a reporter’s question at the Kennedy Centre on Wednesday.
Both leaders are scheduled to discuss a potential ceasefire in the Ukraine war on August 15 at the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska’s Anchorage.
The summit, scheduled for Friday, marks the first in-person meeting between the leaders of the US and Russia in over four years.
If the first meeting goes well, a second meeting might be held soon, potentially involving Ukrainian President Zelenskyy.
“If the first meeting goes okay, we will have a quick second one. I would like to do it almost immediately. We will have a quick second meeting between President Putin, President Zelenskyy, and me if they would like to have me there…,” said Trump.
Trump also mentioned the possibility of a trilateral meeting with Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
