Trump Seeks to Hold Trilateral Summit as Early as Aug 22 - The Statesman

Trump commits to a trilateral summit with Putin and Zelenskyy amid ongoing conflict as European leaders endorse the talks and pressure on Russia continues, including strengthened sanctions.

  • US President Donald Trump met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday to discuss Ukraine, with a trilateral summit including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky proposed.
  • The meeting took place in the context of Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine, which began in February 2022, and occurred amid European leaders’ calls for sustained pressure on Russia until lasting peace is reached.
  • German Chancellor Friedrich Merz suggested the proposed three-way summit could take place in Europe, and European leaders expressed readiness to support and work toward it.
  • UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer commended Trump for advancing progress toward concluding Russia's unlawful conflict in Ukraine, while French President Emmanuel Macron emphasized Russia's history of unreliable promises and stressed the need for security assurances that cannot be broken.
  • The Alaska meeting concluded without Putin providing clear assurances to stop the invasion, and the specifics regarding the timing and venue of the proposed trilateral summit are still to be determined.
