President Donald Trump said Thursday that he would meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin even if the Russian leader won’t meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump, when asked by a reporter if Putin would need to meet with Zelenskyy in order to secure a meeting with the U.S., said: “No, he doesn’t. No.” His comments followed Putin’s remarks earlier in the day that he hoped to meet with Trump next week, possibly in the United Arab Emirates. But the White House was still working through the details of any potential meetings, press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.
