US President Donald Trump did not rule out the possibility of a meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin after his visit to Saudi Arabia. The briefing was broadcast live by Fox News.
Commenting on the question of a personal meeting with the Russian leader during the upcoming trip to the Middle East, the American president stated that it is unlikely.
"I think we will meet soon after that," Trump said.
From May 13 to 16, Trump will visit three Gulf countries: Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar. On April 23, White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt also stated that there are currently no meetings planned in Saudi Arabia, where Trump intends to go in May.
Earlier, Trump expressed hope that an agreement to resolve the conflict could be reached this week. He spoke after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced an Easter truce that lasted until April 21.
