Trump says European leaders will visit US this week to discuss Russia-Ukraine war

WASHINGTON – US President Donald Trump said on Sept 7 that individual European leaders would visit the United States on Sept 8 or 9 to discuss how to resolve the Russia-Ukraine war.

Speaking to reporters after returning from the US Open in New York City, Mr Trump also said he would speak to Russian President Vladimir Putin soon.

“Certain European leaders are coming over to our country on Monday or Tuesday individually,” Mr Trump said.

It was not clear to whom Mr Trump was referring, and the White House did not immediately respond to a request for further details.

Mr Trump added that he was “not happy” about the status of

the Russia-Ukraine war,

after reporters asked about a massive Russian air assault overnight on Sept 7 that Ukrainian officials said had set the main government building in Kyiv on fire.

But he again expressed confidence that the war would soon be settled.

“The Russia-Ukraine situation, we’re going to get it done,” Mr Trump said. REUTERS
