The White House commented: A meeting between Trump and Putin still possible?

“I think the President and the entire administration hope that this could happen again one day, but we want to make sure that any meeting would yield a tangible positive outcome,” she said at a press conference, as reported by Reuters.

According to her, Trump has not seen enough action from Russia toward achieving peace and wants to see actions, not just words, about ending the war.

Leavitt stated that Trump is increasingly frustrated and that it is up to him to decide whether there will be further sanctions against Russia.

Trump said yesterday that he canceled the planned meeting with Putin due to a lack of progress in diplomatic efforts to end the war in Ukraine.
