Trump speaks about Ukraine peace talks in Turkey: He said Putin wants him to attend meetings in Turkey, and suggested he could still be open to it: “I don’t know if he’s showing up. I know he would like me to be there. And that’s a possibility…I’ve been thinking about that.
Trump said that his trip does not sideline Israel. “This is good for Israel, having a relationship like I have with these countries; Middle Eastern countries, essentially all of them. I think it’s very good for Israel.”
On Iran, Trump says : “They can’t have a nuclear weapon. So we’ll either do it friendly or we’ll do it very unfriendly and that won’t be pleasant.”
