Putin floats US-China-Russia summit to end Ukraine war, WSJ reports
US President Donald Trump is already facing blowback from Republicans for his overtures to Putin, including waiving Russia sanctions.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has reportedly suggested a summit between himself, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and former US President Donald Trump to discuss ending the war in Ukraine, according to a report by Semafor. The White House has not yet commented on Putin's proposal, but it aligns with Trump's promise to resolve the conflict and his preference for direct talks with adversaries.
However, Trump is currently facing criticism from Republicans over his past dealings with Putin, such as waiving sanctions and signing a diesel deal, which could lead to further budget cuts for the Pentagon.
