Zelenskyy's visit, Trump called Putin, what did they talk about?
At the critical moment when Trump decided whether to provide "Tomahawk" missiles to Ukraine, he called Russia.
On the 16th, Trump announced on social media that he had a telephone conversation with Putin that day and made "significant progress" in ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Of course, Trump's words can be heard but not taken seriously. Every time he talks to Putin, he announces that there has been "significant progress" on the issue of ending the war, but in fact, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has not yet ceased.
So, what did Trump and Putin talk about this time? Probably three things: talked about post-war U.S.-Russia trade; next week, the U.S. and Russia will hold a meeting at the advisory level; Putin and Trump will meet in Budapest.
It is worth noting that when Trump called Putin, Zelenskyy had already arrived in the United States, preparing to discuss the transfer of "Tomahawk" missiles, but after Trump called Putin, Zelenskyy probably won't get a large number of missiles - Trump may give them, but the quantity is expected to be small.
This is partly because Trump told Putin in the phone call that the United States "also needs 'Tomahawk' missiles";
On the other hand, Trump called Putin while Zelenskyy was visiting, which is obviously a show of force to both sides of Russia and Ukraine, that is, before Trump decides to provide "Tomahawk" missiles to Ukraine, both sides must reach an agreement on the negotiation issues.
