Hot mic catches Trump telling the French president he thinks Putin "wants to make a deal for me"
Ahead of the multilateral meeting, Donald Trump was caught on a hot mic saying that Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to reach a resolution to the war for him.
After Donald Trump had a meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office and was heading for talks with European leaders, the American resident was caught on a hot mic saying that he thinks Putin wants a deal. “I think he wants to make a deal,” Trump whispered to French President Emmanuel Macron in the East Room.
“I think he wants to make a deal for me, you understand that? As crazy as it sounds," Trump added.
Did Trump pause his meeting with Zelensky to call Putin?
US President Donald Trump reportedly paused his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other European leaders to call his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin. The source told CNN that the European leaders were not present for the conversation.
The news was first reported by German newspaper Bild, which reported that the talks with European leaders would continue after the call with Putin at the White House.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social, "At the conclusion of the meetings, I called President Putin, and began the arrangements for a meeting, at a location to be determined, between President Putin and President Zelenskyy. After that meeting takes place, we will have a Trilat, which would be the two Presidents, plus myself."
"I had a very good meeting with distinguished guests, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, of Ukraine, President Emmanuel Macron ... in the White House, which ended in a further meeting in the Oval Office. During the meeting we discussed Security Guarantees for Ukraine, which Guarantees would be provided by the various European Countries, with a coordination with the United States of America. Everyone is very happy about the possibility of PEACE for Russia/Ukraine," the American president said.
