Putin Demands Trump Meeting: Concerns Rise Over Russian Influence
While a meeting between Presidents Trump and Putin is deemed necessary and preparatory discussions are underway between Moscow and Washington, no concrete plans have been finalized. Putin’s spokesman denied reports of a May 9th Moscow meeting, contradicting earlier speculation. Although Trump’s upcoming Middle East trip (May 13-16) presented a potential opportunity, no such meeting is currently scheduled. Their previous communication involved a discussion of a Ukrainian ceasefire.
