Trump says he met Putin envoy, hopes for quick Ukraine deal
U.S President Donald Trump stated that he held a closed meeting on Thursday with Vladimir Putin's envoy following a meeting between Ukrainian and Russian delegations organized by First Lady Melania Trump, Reuters reported.
President Donald Trump declared a "big beautiful agreement" aimed at ending the war in Ukraine, suggesting it could involve all of Europe. During his discussion with Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev, he mentioned a possible Russia-Ukraine deal that would encompass the entire continent. Trump admitted he did not meet with the Ukrainian delegation, but downplayed Russia's ongoing atrocities in Ukraine, claiming Russia is losing the war.
The US President stated that the US is "very close" to settling the Russia-Ukraine conflict, adding that everyone involved would be thrilled with the outcome. Trump's comments echoed a similar "big beautiful bill" he signed in July 2025, which aimed to cut federal taxes and increase defense and border security spending to combat illegal immigration.
