French media: Trump keeps changing his mind on using "land exchange" to resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict
USA - US President Trump held a summit in Alaska on Friday with Russian President Putin to resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict. On Thursday, Trump's speech on Fox News indicated that he did not rule out some form of territorial exchange.
Trump said, "I don't want to use the word 'partition'. But you know, in a way, it's a good word, okay?"
Russia's offensive is escalating, and Zelenskyy was excluded from the meeting on Friday, which has increased European concerns that EU countries fear Trump and Putin may reach an agreement that would force Ukraine to make painful concessions.
Trump initially said he would carry out some "land exchange", but after talking to European leaders on Wednesday, he seemed to retract that statement.
But on Thursday, Trump's speech on Fox News indicated that he was no longer ruling out some form of territorial exchange.
Trump and Russian President will hold a summit at a U.S. Air Force base outside Anchorage, Alaska on Friday, aimed at resolving the Ukraine conflict.
Trump said there is a 25% chance that the meeting with Putin will be unsuccessful, but this meeting is just the prelude to the second trilateral talks, and by the time of the second trilateral talks, a substantive agreement on the Ukraine war will be reached.
