Trump is approaching Putin’s meeting in Alaska “like chess”

President Donald Trump revealed how he is planning to deal with his meeting with the Russian President Vladimir Putin Friday.

Trump appeared to conduct a radio interview on the “Brian Celid Show” on Thursday, telling the host Brian Celid His negotiations with Putin and Ukrainian President Folodimir Zelinski are “like chess”.

Trump has estimated that his meeting in Alaska with Putin has an explicitly 25 % chance, but he said that hope is to pressure a second meeting between Putin and Zellinski.

“This meeting places the second meeting,” Trump told Kilmeade.

He said that the second meeting will be “very important”, and hinted that there are possible negotiations on land bodies, and there is an idea that Zelinsky opposed.
