Trump emphasized that while he is open to dialogue, certain actions necessitate the official status of president, meaning he will only be able to initiate negotiations after his inauguration.
Experts note that this step could pose a significant challenge for international diplomacy, given the complex relationship between the US and Russia amid the ongoing war. Political analysts are also questioning the realism of reaching a compromise, taking into account the current geopolitical situation and the positions of both parties.
Additionally, Trump hinted that the Russian president has no reason to be satisfied with the current developments.
“I know Putin wants to meet, and we will do it very quickly,” the elected president stated.
Experts indicate that there will definitely not be any negotiations between Putin and Trump in the upcoming week, but they could take place in the days following January 20, when Trump is inaugurated.
Previously, the Kremlin also commented on the negotiations.
