Discussions between US President-elect Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are anticipated in the “coming days and weeks,” according to Mike Waltz, the incoming US National Security Adviser.
This potential conversation could lay the groundwork for further negotiations and a face-to-face meeting between Trump and Putin, Waltz mentioned during an interview with ABC News on Sunday.
“While we have not established a precise framework yet, we are actively working on it. I do expect a call to happen in the near future. That will be a significant step, and we will proceed from there,” Waltz stated.
The incoming official did not offer any timelines regarding when the two leaders might meet, only indicating that preparations are in progress.
Previously, Trump indicated that a meeting with Putin was in the works, suggesting it would likely take place after his inauguration on January 20. Moscow has also expressed its willingness to engage with the incoming US president, although specific details regarding the timing and location of the meeting remain unresolved.
