Trump has reportedly adopted “wait-and-see” approach, stepping back from Ukraine peace talks. The Guardian claimed Trump will not host the Putin-Zelensky meeting, and wants them to meet first without his presence. After promising a 24-hour peace solution, Trump now tells advisers he’ll only arrange a trilateral summit after a bilateral meeting occurs. Following a 40-minute Putin phone call, Russian aide Ushakov announced lead negotiators will be appointed. White House has no location shortlist while Zelensky demands security guarantees within weeks.
