White House: Trump-Putin summit scrapped because Russian leader wasn't interested enough in peace
From CNN's Donald Judd White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNN Thursday that President Donald Trump decided to announce new Russia sanctions and call off a planned meeting between himself and Russian President Vladimir Putin because he had “not seen enough interest” in “moving the ball forward towards peace” from the Russian side.
“The President has always maintained that he would implement sanctions on Russia when he felt it was appropriate and necessary – and yesterday was that day,” Leavitt told CNN’s Kristen Holmes. “I think the president has also long expressed his frustration with Vladimir Putin, and frankly, both sides of this war, and he’s always said in order to negotiate a good peace deal, both sides need to be interested in a good peace deal.”
Speaking to reporters at the White House Wednesday, Trump said he’d “canceled” the Putin meeting, adding, “It didn’t feel like we were going to get to the place we have to get – so I canceled it, but we’ll do it in the future.”
Leavitt added Thursday: “And so, a meeting between these two leaders is not completely off the table – I think the President and the entire administration hopes that one day that can happen again– but we want to make sure that there’s a tangible positive outcome out of that meeting, and that it’s a good use of the President’s time.”
