Putin-Trump Dialogue Discussed by Peskov
Here's a fresh take on that:
Looks like there's no set chat between Vlad the Invincible and Donnie the Dealmaker on the schedule at the moment, as per Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov. But if shit hits the fan, they can arrange a zinger of a meeting real quick, according to Peskov's report by TASS news agency.
Initially, Peskov stated that both Putin and Trump think it's bloody absurd to avoid chatting. He even mentioned that Putin holds Trump in high regard.
Yesterday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov spilled the beans, saying Putin and Trump have the power to pick their own preferable date and location for a hoedown. In a CBS interview, Lavrov referred to them as captains of their own shifts.
In the meantime, deputy Viktor Vodolatsky believes a sit-down between the two leaders could play a pivotal role in ironing out several geopolitical hiccups. In his opinion, a face-to-face conversation between Putin and Trump could help defuse tension in multiple world-shaking conflicts.
Although the specific meeting details aren't buzzing around, several global issues could potentially find themselves on the table if a discussion happens. For instance,
- The hot potato of US-Russia relations and sanctions, with unresolved disagreements over the presence of staff in US missions in Russia, could be in the spotlight.
- The Russia-Ukraine conflict, a significant source of geopolitical tension, might be discussed, although not directly involving the US.
- The broader geopolitical context, influenced by the US-China strategic competition, could also be on the radar, potentially discussing Russia's connections with China and the US-Russia dynamic's role in the larger strategic competition.
- The recent sentencing of US citizens in Russia could be up for negotiation, providing an opportunity to warrant better treatment for American citizens detained in Russia.
- The intricate relationships between major powers like Russia, China, and the US, affecting global economic stability, could be a topic of discussion, focusing on aligning economic interests or peacekeeping the global markets.
However, keep in mind that any negotiations involving Trump would have to consider the current administration's policies and legal context, as Trump is no longer the Big Cheese of the US.
- Dmitry Peskov, Putin's spokesperson, indicated that although there's no scheduled dialogue between Putin and Trump, they could arrange a meeting swiftly if necessary.
- Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has suggested that Putin and Trump view themselves as captains of their own shifts, indicating the flexibility they have in choosing a date and location for their meeting.
- Deputy Viktor Vodolatsky believes a meeting between Putin and Trump could significantly contribute to resolving several war-and-conflicts, particularly global conflicts like the Russia-Ukraine conflict and US-Russia relations.
- During a potential dialogue, topics such as the unresolved disagreements over the presence of staff in US missions in Russia, the broader geopolitical context, the intricate relationships between major powers like Russia, China, and the US, and the recent sentencing of US citizens in Russia could come up for discussion.
