Trump says he will not meet with Putin until he thinks there is a deal on Ukraine

  • On Oct. 25, 2025, President Donald Trump said he will only meet Russian President Vladimir Putin if certain they will make a deal, telling reporters aboard Air Force One he will not waste his time.
  • On Oct. 22, the U.S. imposed sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil and their subsidiaries, barring dealings with units they control 50% or more to pressure the Kremlin toward a ceasefire.
  • Despite a longstanding rapport, Trump said he has long had a great relationship with Putin but called recent talks "very disappointing" and said conversations often "don’t go anywhere," Wednesday.
  • An intended summit in Budapest was put on hold on Wednesday after talks fell apart this past week, with Karoline Leavitt, White House Press Secretary, saying on Oct. 23 the meeting remains not completely off the table.
  • Despite diplomatic signals, Ukraine continues to face Russian advances and airstrikes reaching Kyiv, while Russia has launched approximately 770 ballistic and more than 50 Kinzhal missiles this year, complicating ceasefire efforts.
