President Donald Trump was heard in a hot mic moment whispering to French President Emmanuel Macron that he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to make a peace deal „for“ the U.S. leader — remarking the hunch even sounded „crazy“ to him.
„I think he (Putin) wants to make a deal. I think he wants to make a deal for me, you understand that?“ Trump was heard telling Macron ahead of a multilateral meeting with European leaders Monday. „As crazy as it sounds.“
Top European leaders converged on the White House Monday, when Trump held his highly anticipated meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the hopes on brokering a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine amid a war that has raged since the winter of 2022.
Trump spoke with the European leaders following his meeting with Zelenskyy, which included discussions on „Security Guarantees for Ukraine, which Guarantees would be provided by the various European Countries, with a coordination with the United States of America“, Trump said on Truth Social Monday of the meeting.
European leaders who joined the meeting at the White House Monday included Macron, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte.
