Diplomatic Dance: Trump, Putin, and the Path to Peace?
President Donald Trump may meet with Vladimir Putin to discuss the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, marking a significant diplomatic effort to achieve peace. Amidst threats of secondary sanctions against Russia and potential tariffs on China, Trump's moves are part of broader strategies to pressure Moscow.

In a significant diplomatic development, President Donald Trump is expected to have a face-to-face meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin imminently.
The talks are aimed at ending Russia's hostilities in Ukraine, a conflict that represents the biggest assault on a European nation since World War II. The potential meeting comes as the U.S. is gearing up to implement secondary sanctions against countries like China that continue business with Moscow.
The White House's announcement follows discreet discussions between U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Putin, as diplomatic channels push for a peaceful resolution. Meanwhile, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy remains skeptical but optimistic that pressure on Russia is yielding results.
