When and where the Trump-Putin meeting will take place
According to the US leader, the meeting is expected to occur in Budapest within the next two weeks. Prior to this, a meeting between US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will take place.
Trump also reiterated that Putin and Zelensky do not get along, making it difficult to organize a meeting between them.
"So we may do something separately, but separate and equal. We will meet and talk, but their relationship is terrible, it is unbelievable, and I have seen things nobody would believe—this is one of them. So I will be meeting; we are going to meet in Hungary, Viktor Orban will be hosting, and it is really something. Because of my relationship with President Putin, I thought it would be quick, but..." Trump said.
