The leaders are also planning to discuss a possible trilateral meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy with Putin in Budapest, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said on 17 October.
On 16 October, Trump had a phone conversation with Putin, following which he announced a new meeting with him in Budapest.
The US president also said that Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Special Representative Steve Witkoff would join the talks with Russia, which are due to take place within two weeks and will focus on Ukraine.
