There has been a telephone conversation between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. After the conversation, Trump said he and Putin have agreed to start a conversation to end the Russia-Ukraine war. The US President also said that he would meet Putin personally. The meeting will be held in another country instead of Russia and the United States. And this place is Saudi Arabia.
Visit to Saudi Arabia
Donald Trump said he would meet Putin in Saudi Arabia, whose date has not yet been fixed. There has been no official response from Moscow yet on Trump’s statement. But the big question is why the interview between Trump and Putin can only be made in Saudi Arabia. Neither Moscow nor Washington … Why Trump-Putin can only be found in this Muslim country? Trump said he would have a first meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Saudi Arabia. Trump has not announced the date of his visit with Putin. He said that we will meet several times in the coming days. They will come here and we will go there. The President also said that the two leaders know Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman and this is the right place for our visit. However, there was no response from Moscow on Trump’s statement.
Why is this meeting only in Saudi Arabia?
Moscow considered Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates as potential sites for an interview between the two leaders. The report was quoted in early February, citing two Russian sources. Russian officials visited both countries. At that time, none of Kremlin, Riyadh or Abu Dhabi commented on the report. According to sources, this was opposed in Russia, as some diplomats and intelligence officials point to both the state and the UAE towards close military and security relations with the United States. Both Trump and Putin have developed friendly relationships with Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
