Conducting peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in the Vatican would become a “excellent idea.” This was stated by US President Donald Trump at one of the events in the White House.
Answering the question of whether the possible mediation of the Vatican means the US refusal to participate in the process, Trump said that to conduct (negotiations) in the Vatican would be a “excellent idea.”
.
“maybe it would attach even more importance to them,” said the head of the White House.
He noted that in yesterday’s telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin the idea of intermediation by the Vatican was discussed, and also expressed confidence that this could contribute to negotiations.
“now there is a huge suffering, anger. And, it seems to me, it would help to soften the tension a little. So to negotiate in the Vatican, in my opinion, a very good idea,” Trump said.
The American leader emphasized that after a conversation with Putin, he had the feeling that “something will happen still.”
“We are talking about really large ego, but it seems to me that the shift is possible. And if not, I’ll just step aside, and they will have to start again from scratch,” he emphasized.
The head of the White House also repeated his former statement that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is the “problem of Europe.”
, however, the previous leadership was convinced that we should actively intervene. As a result, we were involved in the conflict much deeper than Europe itself. We handed over to the foreign state unprecedented volumes of assistance, both financial and military. Europe also helped, but even did not come close to our scale, ”he said.
After a telephone conversation with Putin, Trump first commented on him on the social network Truth Social, noting that the conversation was “very good.”
Trump also said that the Vatican, in the person of the pope of the Roman lion XIV, expressed great readiness to accept negotiations.
