Sources within the White House have hinted at a probable date and time for a future meeting between U
S. President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin. According to senior official, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, this issue still needs to be resolved personally by Trump, as the final date of their conversation depends on his decision. Reports have appeared in the media indicating that the American leader will begin discussing the possibility of a summit after completing his diplomatic trips to the Middle East, particularly upon his return home. Rubio noted that there are currently no specific dates or times for the meeting, as President Trump is abroad and actively engaged in a diplomatic tour of the region. He added that the U.S. administration is currently "waiting for Trump’s return" to decide on the date for talks with Putin. "We need to find the most suitable time for this, but the final decision must be made by the President himself," he emphasized. At the same time, Secretary Rubio also stated that the United States will closely monitor developments in the region, notably tomorrow, which likely refers to negotiations between Ukrainian and Russian delegations. This underscores the importance of the situation in Ukraine for American diplomacy and potential future steps in global politics. Earlier that day, President Donald Trump expressed the opinion that resolving the conflict in Ukraine is apparently impossible without his personal involvement in negotiations with Vladimir Putin. Trump emphasized that no peaceful resolution to the ongoing war, from Russia’s side, will happen without direct U.S. participation in the dialogue. His words were echoed by Marco Rubio, who responded with skepticism about the prospects of Ukrainian-Russian talks held in Istanbul, and pointed out that any outcome is unlikely to be positive without active U.S. involvement. Thus, the political situation surrounding the possible Trump-Putin meeting is gaining momentum, and everyone is awaiting further steps from the American administration and the global diplomatic circles. In a time when global tensions are rising, the prospect of tense negotiations between the two leading power players casts doubt on the chances for a quick and lasting peace in the region and in the world overall.
