WASHINGTON — President Trump said Monday that he plans to tell Russian President Vladimir Putin to “end this war” when they meet Friday in Alaska — and that he will include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the “next meeting.”
“I’m going to be telling him, ‘You’ve got to end this war,’” Trump said at a press conference where he announced plans to federalize local police as a part of a crime crackdown in Washington, DC.
Trump confirmed that Zelensky would not be included in the summit meeting this week — but that he would call him after meeting with Putin.
“The next meeting will be with Zelensky and Putin, or Zelensky, Putin and me,” the president promised. “I want to arrange a meeting between the two leaders.”
