WASHINGTON, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that he will not negotiate on behalf of Ukraine at the upcoming summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, media reported.
Speaking to reporters on board Air Force One en route to Anchorage, Trump stressed that he is “not here to negotiate for Ukraine” and will give Kyiv the right to independently resolve territorial issues with Moscow.
“I am here to bring them to the negotiating table. I think they will make the right decision,” the American leader noted.
D. Trump also stated that there is a “possibility” that the United States, together with European and other countries, could offer Ukraine security guarantees, “but not in the NATO format.”
Calling Putin a “smart guy,” Trump expressed optimism ahead of his meeting with the Russian leader, saying “there’s a good level of respect” on both sides and that he believes “something will come out of it.” –0–
