A land swap and security guarantees to end the Ukraine war have been “negotiated” and “agreed”, US President Donald Trump has said following talks with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Alaska.
In an interview with Fox News soon after the summit on Friday, Trump said the points “were negotiated” and “largely agreed on”, but one “big thing” of disagreement remained.
“I think [Putin] wants to see it done,” Trump said, refusing to say what the outstanding issue was.
Trump also accused his predecessor, Joe Biden, of pushing China and Russia together, countries that he said should have been “natural enemies.”
“He did something that was unthinkable. He drove China and Russia together. That’s not good,” he said.
“It’s the one thing you didn’t want to do because they’re basically natural enemies. Russia has tremendous amounts of land. China has tremendous amounts of people, and China needs Russian land.
