President Donald Trump said on Oct 25 that he doesn’t plan to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin until a peace deal with Ukraine is reached.
“I’m going to have to know that we’re going to make a deal,” Trump said while speaking to journalists on Air Force One at a pitstop on his way to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for a week-long Asia tour.
