Trump says Ukraine will have a ‘different shape’ after the war and says ‘Russia was treated very disrespectfully’ ahead of proposed meeting with Putin and Xi
Donald Trump said Ukraine would have a “different shape” after the war with Russia and predicted a peace deal would happen soon. In a television interview, he said Russia had been treated disrespectfully by Kyiv, while declining to say whether he trusted Vladimir Putin or Volodymyr Zelensky more.
Trump also said he expected to meet Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping at the APEC summit in Shenzhen on 18–19 November, where he said they could discuss Iran and denuclearisation. Beijing confirmed it was in communication about a possible trilateral meeting, but analysts said the leaders’ competing interests make substantive agreements unlikely and that China may chiefly value the diplomatic image.
In short
- Trump says Ukraine’s post-war borders or form will change.
- He expects a possible meeting with Putin and Xi at APEC.
- Analysts doubt the leaders will reach substantive agreements.
