Speaking to Politico, a White House official said Trump's goal is to "simply take the measure of Putin, find out if the Russian leader is serious and work toward a trilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy," AzVision.az reports, citing Anadolu Agency.
This is all about “trusting Trump’s instincts,” a White House official told the US news site on the condition of anonymity.
According to the official, Putin "offered a plan," adding: "It may not be a viable plan, but there was something on paper, which shows progress."
Trump and Putin are scheduled to meet in Alaska on Friday for talks related to ending the war in Ukraine.
Neither Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy nor EU representatives have been invited to the summit.
