Trump teases ‘beautiful’ deal covering ‘all of Europe’ after meeting Putin’s envoy
An agreement is "going to involve more than Ukraine," the U.S. president said after a meeting with Kirill Dmitriev.
U.S. President Donald Trump hinted at a significant deal involving "all of Europe" after his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, on Thursday. The envoy, who heads the Russian sovereign wealth fund, was in attendance at a White House event where First Lady Melania Trump spoke about a temporary ceasefire in Oleshky that she helped negotiate.
Despite the presence of Russian and Ukrainian officials, Trump disclosed that he had only spoken with Dmitriev. He assured reporters that the agreement would extend beyond Ukraine, potentially covering the entire continent. "Everyone’s gonna be thrilled," he added.
On Friday, Trump’s son-in-law and diplomatic envoy, Jared Kushner, confirmed the president's remarks, stating that discussions had taken place with several European leaders regarding the need for a broader European security architecture. This architecture aims to establish conditions for lasting peace. Russia initiated a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and the conflict is expected to intensify in the upcoming winter.
Kushner's comments, along with Trump's, precede U.S.-brokered peace talks in Abu Dhabi, scheduled for November 10-11, where Russian and Ukrainian officials will participate.
