  "account": "US President Donald Trump has indicated his readiness to hold another summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but only when Moscow demonstrates a willingness to negotiate a \"peace deal\" to end the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Responding to inquiries about the possibility of a future meeting, Trump stated that he believes Russian President Putin would be willing to participate, but emphasized the importance of timing. \"He d do it. I want it, but I want to do it when we re ready to do a peace deal,\" Trump told reporters at the Oval Office. Trump expressed his desire for the United States to maintain positive relations with both Russia and Ukraine, arguing that improved ties would also benefit business. He stated that a subsequent meeting with Putin could potentially be arranged immediately, but preferred to wait until the war was nearing its end. \"I want to do it when that war is ending, and I think we will,\" Trump said. The US President reiterated his belief that the Russia-Ukraine war \"should have never happened,\" arguing that if he had been re-elected in the 2020 US presidential election, the conflict would not have occurred. Trump claimed that during his first term from 2016 to 2020, he had spoken with Putin and believed there was \"zero chance\" of the war taking place during that time. He stated that when he left office, he observed the escalating conflict and expressed his concern, saying, \"I think these guys are going to go to war. I thought it was crazy; it wouldn t have happened.\" Trump described the last meeting between himself and Putin, held in Alaska in August 2025, as the first direct face-to-face encounter between US and Russian leaders since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Although no agreement or ceasefire was reached, both sides reported making progress. Trump noted that they had agreed on \"many points,\" while Putin mentioned reaching a mutual understanding on key security concerns.",
