“I would say he could go, but he’s gone to a lot of meetings, he’s been there for three and a half years, and nothing happened,” Trump said.

However, the US president said he was confident that in the “first two minutes” of a meeting with Putin, he would know for sure “whether or not a deal can be made”.

Trump also admitted that the next meeting could be between Putin and Zelenskyy, or a trilateral meeting with his participation.

Trump also said he would eventually “put the two of them [Putin and Zelenskyy – ed.] in the room… and I think it will be resolved”.
