After Ratcliffe's Moscow trip 'failure', Trump to meet Putin directly to beg for end to Ukraine war?

US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday, September 2, that he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin would agree to another summit if Trump wanted one. However, Trump said he wants the meeting to take place only when the sides are ready to reach a peace deal over Ukraine. Trump stressed that the United States wants good relations with Russia, Ukraine and other countries, as efforts to end the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war continue. His remarks come amid uncertainty over future negotiations and whether another Trump-Putin meeting could help advance a potential peace agreement and bring an end to the conflict.
