US President Donald Trump said he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready to make a deal on the war in Ukraine, with sanctions pressure possibly influencing Moscow’s decision to seek talks. Trump is set to meet Putin in Alaska tomorrow and expressed hope for brokering a peace agreement, though he is unsure if an immediate ceasefire is possible. Speaking on Fox News Radio’s The Brian Kilmeade Show, Trump said, “I believe now he’s convinced that he’s going to make a deal, and we’re going to find out.”
