What did Trump say?

Trump said he and Putin discussed the need to end the war in Ukraine.

“We agreed to work together, very closely, including visiting each other’s nations,” Trump wrote on the social media platform. “We have also agreed to have our respective teams start negotiations immediately, and we will begin by calling President Zelenskyy, of Ukraine, to inform him of the conversation, something which I will be doing right now.”

Trump also wrote, “Millions of people have died in a war that would not have happened if I were president, but it did happen, so it must end. No more lives should be lost.”

Why would a visit to Russia be significant?

If Trump does visit Russia, he would be the first president to do so since Barack Obama in 2013, when he attended the G20 Summit.

How did the Kremlin respond?

The Kremlin confirmed the nearly hour-and-a-half conversation with Trump, as well as plans for the two leaders to meet.
