US President Donald Trump said he spoke to Vladimir Putin in recent days and that he believed the Russian president’s dislike of Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskiy is holding up a meeting between the two leaders.
“He doesn’t like him,” Trump told reporters Monday in the Oval Office. “I have people I don’t like, I don’t like to meet with them.”
Trump was asked if he had spoken to Putin since last Monday, when he called him following a meeting with European leaders, including Zelenskiy, to propose a peace summit. The White House has said they believe Putin agreed to a meeting with the Ukrainian president, but the Kremlin has not confirmed their commitment and no summit has yet been scheduled.
