Trump’s Negotiating Team
Trump’s diplomatic approach involves a high-profile negotiating team, which includes:
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio
- Director of the CIA John Ratcliffe
- National Security Advisor Michael Waltz
- Ambassador and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff
According to USA Today Trump described his conversation with Putin as “lengthy and highly productive.” The Kremlin confirmed to The New York Times that the call lasted about an hour and a half and that Putin extended an invitation for Trump to visit Moscow.
“We each talked about the strengths of our respective Nations and the great benefit that we will someday have in working together,” Trump stated.
The Ukraine-Russia Conflict
Until the 1950s, Ukraine was part of Russia, and the two nations have long disputed borders and resources. In 2014, Russia annexed Crimea, leading to international condemnation and sanctions. The Obama administration engaged in diplomatic negotiations at the time, but the conflict has persisted.
