Trump confirms that the US is talking with Russia

President Donald Trump said that talks are underway between the United States and Russia on issues including how to end the war in Ukraine.

“We’re talking and I think we’re going to do something great,” he said. “[This war] is pointless and it has to stop. We’re talking.”

The talks could also lead to talks between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, the sources said, but he declined to say whether the two have set a date for the talks.

Trump has vowed to do everything he can to end the war in Ukraine, calling it a “war that is killing lives and is unjustified.”
