A meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump could happen at any moment, says Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov. But it all depends on the leaders’ agreement. Is this just another political game or a real chance to change Russia-US relations?
Ushakov explained that it would be preferable to have documents prepared in advance to make the meeting more productive and meaningful. However, the organization of the meeting has not yet moved into the practical phase. Istanbul has been proposed as the meeting place, but this requires agreement not only with Turkish President Erdogan but also between Putin and Trump.
Ushakov also noted that the 80th anniversary of the UN in October could be a good occasion for the meeting, and Putin’s trip to New York could be organized with a preliminary agreement with Trump. The tone of dialogue between Russia and the US gives hope for real progress, and communication between the two countries is normal and friendly, which is different from previous periods, Ushakov said.
But is this just a diplomatic show, or is something really changing? Will the leaders manage to overcome differences and agree on key issues? Or will everything remain at the level of empty promises and media headlines?
In any case, this topic is a real political soap opera that keeps us in suspense. What do you think? Will Putin and Trump finally meet, or is this just another story to divert attention? Drop a comment and let’s see who’s optimistic and who’s skeptical!
