President Trump has revealed that he and Russian President Vladimir Putin are planning a second face-to-face summit in Budapest, Hungary, to discuss efforts to end the war in Ukraine. This follows a recent phone call between the two leaders, during which they agreed to hold preparatory meetings between their advisers to set the agenda and discuss necessary conditions for peace.

The announcement comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is scheduled to meet with Trump in Washington, with discussions expected to focus on U.S. coordination with Ukraine and potential intelligence sharing. There is no indication that Zelensky will participate in the planned Trump-Putin meeting, as Putin previously declined to meet with him.

Trump dice que planea reunirse con Putin en Hungría

El presidente Trump reanuda las conversaciones con el presidente ruso Vladimir Putin. En un post en la Verdad Social, Trump calificó la discusión productiva y anunció planes para una posible segunda reunión en persona con Putin sobre el fin de la guerra en Ucrania. La reportera de la Casa Blanca de CBS News Olivia Rinaldi se une a nosotros ahora. Olivia, me alegro de verte, como siempre. ¿Qué más sabemos sobre esta llamada y también sobre la reunión del presidente con el presidente de Ucrania? Presidente Zelensky mañana? Bueno, Nancy, hubo bastantes noticias de esta llamada telefónica entre el presidente ruso Vladimir Putin y el presidente Trump, a saber, que están planeando una segunda cumbre. Ahora, si recuerdas, en agosto, los dos líderes se reunieron en Alaska. De esa cumbre no salió realmente nada concreto, más que el presidente quería reunirse con Putin cara a cara y saber si hablaba en serio sobre la paz. Pero el presidente dijo hoy, después de esa llamada telefónica, que Putin le felicitó por su éxito en Oriente Medio y luego dijo que habían acordado reunirse en Budapest, Hungría. Y también debo señalar que acordaron que habría una reunión de asesores de alto nivel antes de esa reunión en Hungría entre el presidente Trump y el presidente Putin. Ese es el precursor de una especie de averiguar lo que estaría en la agenda y, a saber, lo que serían las condiciones necesarias para tratar de poner fin a la guerra en Ucrania. Como usted ha mencionado, el presidente Zelensky va a estar aquí en Washington mañana reunión con el presidente Trump, con el objetivo de poner fin a la guerra en Ucrania, sino también hablar de la coordinación de EE.UU. con Ucrania. Ha habido algunos rumores de que la administración Trump está interesada en dar a Ucrania un mayor acceso a la inteligencia, algunos de que la inteligencia de EE.UU. que ayudaría a los de largo alcance misiles dentro de Rusia, que les están ayudando a apuntar a algunos lugares dentro de Rusia, tipo de prolongando esta guerra. Pero sabemos que Zelensky vendrá mañana para reunirse con el presidente. No se sabe si Zelensky formará parte de esa reunión con el presidente Trump y el presidente Putin. Sin embargo, Putin no quiso reunirse con Zelensky la última vez. Por lo tanto, sin duda mucho que ver en las próximas 24 horas de cualquier desarrollo en la terminación de la guerra en Ucrania con Rusia.
