US President-elect Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin could also meet in Hungary, said the first deputy chairman of the international affairs committee of the Russian legislature
Senator Vladimir Dzabarov – quotes a Parlamentszkaja Gazeta – he said that the preparations for the meeting are indeed taking place, but in the absence of an exact time and place, the Kremlin is not talking about it. The leaders of the world’s two biggest powers cannot avoid the meeting, he added.
In response to a question about the possible location of meetings between Putin and Trump, Dzabarov noted that the meeting should take place in a neutral and comfortable area for everyone. Previously, Finland could be considered as such, but Helsinki joined NATO and became more and more aggressive towards Russia.
“It could be a country… “I would suggest Hungary… this is my personal opinion. (Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán) has excellent relations with Trump, he is on good terms with Putin”
– said the politician, adding that the most important thing is to be able to guarantee the safety of both leaders.
US President-elect Donald Trump announced on Friday that preparations are underway for a meeting with Vladimir Putin. According to his statement, the Russian president also supports this, but a few days earlier, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov claimed that the Russian leader has no such plans. Incidentally, in December 2024, Putin also expressed that he is ready to negotiate or meet with Donald Trump at any time.
The last official meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump was on June 28, 2019, in Osaka, Japan, as part of the G20 summit. It was the last time the two leaders held official talks during Donald Trump’s presidency. At that time, among other things, they discussed the situation in Iran, the Syrian conflict and the issue of trade relations.
