Trump open to US-Russia-China summit proposed by Putin

President Trump expressed willingness to participate in a trilateral meeting with Russia and China, proposed by President Putin, focusing on nuclear disarmament rather than Ukraine. This would be the first such meeting if realized. Trump reiterated criticism of Ukrainian President Zelensky, suggesting it may be time for a different Ukrainian negotiator, while Russia praised the US stance. Trump's administration is reportedly pressuring Ukraine to concede eastern territories, partly to boost his low approval ratings ahead of midterm elections. Republican lawmakers have voiced concerns that Trump's approach is too favorable to Russia, warning it could damage the party's legacy and America's standing as a Western leader.
