Trump says Putin won't attack NATO territory
WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Thursday insisted Russian leader Vladimir Putin would not attack Nato territory, downplaying reports that Washington had warned Moscow against a possible move on Europe.
On Thursday, US President Donald Trump stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin would not attack NATO territory, despite reports suggesting the US had warned Moscow against such a move. CIA Director John Ratcliffe visited Moscow, sparking speculation, but Trump downplayed the visit, calling it "semi-routine" and linked to efforts to end Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
The Kremlin dismissed the reports as "scare stories" and said they had nothing to do with reality. Russia remains committed to its special military operation in Ukraine and has rejected Ukrainian demands for direct peace talks.
