Sanders says the Trump-Putin Summit in Alaska could be 'a positive step forward' if Ukraine involved
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) says that peace negotiations in Alaska between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin could be “a positive step forward.”
“If, in fact, an agreement can be negotiated which does not compromise what the Ukrainians feel that they need, I think that’s a positive step forward. We all want to see an end to the bloodshed,” he said on CNN’s “State of the Union” with Dana Bash.
Trump and Putin are set to meet in Alaska on Aug. 15 to discuss a peace deal. The White House and the NATO Ambassador Matthew Whitaker said that it’s possible the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky could also attend next week.
“The President remains open to a trilateral summit with both leaders. Right now, the White House is planning the bilateral meeting requested by President Putin,” a senior White House official told NewsNation’s Libbey Dean on Saturday.
