President Donald Trump said he would meet Russian President Vladimir Putin “as soon as we can set it up,” foreclosing an immediate face-to-face encounter aimed at brokering an end to the war in Ukraine. Trump told reporters Friday he would return directly to Washington at the end of his visit to the Middle East. The president had previously signaled he could stack on a stop in Turkey to meet Putin if the Russian leader showed up for peace talks. Trump also said the deal with China is in the process of “continuing to be formed,” and added that 150 countries want to make a deal with the US. Trump said he would set tariff rates for US trading partners “over the next two to three weeks,” saying his administration lacks the capacity to negotiate deals with all of its trading partners.
