Trump to call NATO leaders and Zelenskyy after talks with Putin
US President Donald Trump plans to call NATO leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, according to Trump’s remarks at a joint press conference with Vladimir Putin.
"I will call up NATO in a little while. I will call up the various people who I think are appropriate. An I'll, of course, call up President Zelenskyy and tell him about today's meeting. So, it's ultimately up to them," Trump said.
The meeting between Trump and Putin was initially expected to take place in a one-on-one format. However, on the US side, in addition to Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and envoy Steve Witkoff were present, seated next to him. On the Russian side, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and aide Yuri Ushakov sat alongside Putin.
