TRUMP TURTELT MIT PUTIN: Vor Gipfel in Ankara ‒ Der NATO schwant Böses

TRUMP COUCHES PUTIN: Ahead of the Ankara Summit – NATO Suspects Trouble Following his phone call with Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump sees new opportunities for an end to the war in Ukraine. In the Oval Office, the US president spoke of constructive talks with Moscow and emphasized that Volodymyr Zelenskyy also seeks an end to the war. However, Trump did not mention any concrete new commitments or negotiation results. WELT correspondent Michael Wüllenweber analyzes the statements and explains why, despite the optimistic words, considerable skepticism is still warranted. The focus is on Russia's unchanged demands, expectations for the meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy at the NATO summit in Ankara, and the question of whether the US will exert more pressure on Moscow in the future. #Ukraine #Trump #Russia #NATO Why does Michael Wüllenweber assess Trump's statements with caution? In his view, Trump's appearance contained no concrete progress or new political commitments. The Russian positions remain unchanged, which is why no breakthrough can be inferred from the phone call alone. What role does the NATO summit play? Trump plans to meet with Volodymyr Zelenskyy there, among others. Continued support for Ukraine and the security situation in Europe are among the summit's central topics. Has Trump announced new aid for Ukraine? In the statement shown, Trump makes no concrete commitments regarding additional arms deliveries or financial support. He primarily refers to ongoing talks and his hope for a diplomatic solution. Whether Trump's optimism translates into concrete political progress should become clear during the talks at the NATO summit. #trump #usa #putin #weltnachrichtenkanal 🔔 Subscribe to our WELT-TV news channel!    / weltvideotv   Our YouTube channels: 📺 WELT DOKU    / @weltdoku   ⚽ WELT SPORT    / @welt-sport   🚀 WELT SPACE    / @weltspace   🛣️ WELT DRIVE    / @weltdrive   🪖 WELT HISTORY    / @welthistory   🍝 WELT FOOD    / @welt.food-rezepte   WELT News Live Stream http://bit.ly/2fwuMPg Our Top News on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2rQQD9Q Our Media Library on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2Iydxv8 WELT TV on Instagram   / welt.nachrichtensender   WELT on Instagram   / welt   Due to numerous offensive comments, comments are currently disabled.
