Donald Trump has warned Vladimir Putin there would be “severe consequences” if he did not agree to end his war on Ukraine at their summit in Alaska on Friday.
The US president revealed on Wednesday his intention to seek an immediate second meeting with Putin, this time involving Volodymyr Zelensky, after their one-on-one talks in Alaska.
Mr Trump said: “If the first one goes okay, we’ll have a quick second one. I would like to do it almost immediately, and we’ll have a quick second meeting between President Putin and President Zelensky and myself, if they’d like to have me there.”
