‘No NATO or EU’ Trump Announces SHOCKING Trilateral Meet With Putin & Zelensky Without NATO and EU [Video]

‘No NATO or EU’ Trump Announces SHOCKING Trilateral Meet With Putin & Zelensky Without NATO and EU

In a stunning geopolitical twist, President Donald Trump has announced plans for a dramatic three-way summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — possibly within days. The meeting, which Trump disclosed during a private call with top European leaders, would mark the first in-person U.S.-Russia presidential summit in over four years. Sources reveal that the exclusive trio gathering would not involve NATO or European counterparts — sparking both shock and skepticism across allied capitals. Trump, who believes in his unmatched personal diplomacy, insists that face-to-face talks are the only route to peace. While Zelensky hinted at cautious optimism, European leaders voiced doubts about Putin’s sincerity. Trump’s team confirmed that Russia requested the meeting and that his envoy, Steve Witkoff, has already met with Putin. The bold move echoes Trump’s past direct diplomacy tactics, like with North Korea's Kim Jong-un.

Trump Plots U.S Takeover of Gaza Aid Amid Israeli Failure | “Babies Must Not Starve” - White House

U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing to take unprecedented action by leading America into direct control of humanitarian aid operations in Gaza. With starvation and famine gripping the region, Axios reports that Trump met privately with envoy Steve Witkoff after his return from Israel and Gaza, where he expressed outrage over Israel’s handling of the crisis. “He doesn’t want babies to starve,” a U.S. official said, adding that Trump is now fixated on the humanitarian collapse. Despite his reluctance, Trump is positioning the U.S. to take the lead—while pressuring Europe and Arab allies to contribute. With global pressure mounting and Gaza on the brink, this could mark a dramatic shift in America's involvement in the region. #Trump #GazaCrisis #HumanitarianAid #IsraelGazaWar #GazaFamine #TrumpNews #MiddleEast #USForeignPolicy #GlobalCrisis #BreakingNews #SteveWitkoff #TrumpAdministration #WestBank #Palestine #GazaAid ~PR.274~ED.346~GR.122~ED.346~

Zelensky accepts DEFEAT? Makes SHOCKING Remark on War with Russia as Putin-Trump talks confirmed

In a stunning shift, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has signaled readiness for peace talks with Russia, saying “it’s time to end the war.” His call for a “dignified peace” comes amid a confirmed Trump-Putin summit soon and ongoing Russian strikes. Zelensky proposed bilateral or trilateral summits and urged Moscow to match Ukraine’s courage. The Kremlin, however, questions Zelensky’s legitimacy, citing expired terms and lack of elections. With Putin-Trump talks expected soon, the path to peace now faces high-stakes political hurdles. #Zelensky #UkraineRussiaWar #PeaceTalks #Putin #Trump #TrumpPutin #DignifiedPeace #UkraineConflict #ZelenskyShift #RussiaUkraine #MoscowDiplomacy #UkraineWarUpdate #KremlinStatement #BackchannelDiplomacy #BreakingNews #GlobalPolitics #UkraineCrisis #PutinTrumpTalks #WarAndPeace #EndTheWar #MartialLaw #UkrainianPolitics #UkraineLeadership #UkraineNews #RussiaStrikes #TrilateralTalks #PeaceSummit #SteveWitkoff #IllegitimateLeader #GeopoliticalShift Also Read India Ready to Pay the Price: PM Modi on US Tariff Hike on Indian Exports :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-ready-to-pay-the-price-pm-modi-on-us-tariff-hike-on-indian-exports-7822637.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Claims Canada's Recognition of Palestinian State Complicates Trade Negotiations :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-uses-canada-palestinian-state-recognition-leverage-trade-talks-011-7817517.html?ref=DMDesc Trump's Ambition as a Global Peacemaker Faces Challenges Amid Gaza Ceasefire Talks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-global-peacemaker-gaza-ceasefire-challenges-011-7810943.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.408~GR.124~

Putin, Trump Meet On Ukraine War | ‘A Historical Event’ says Putin as Key Peace Talks likely in UAE

Vladimir Putin has confirmed that a highly anticipated summit with Donald Trump could take place as early as next week in the UAE, calling it a potential “historical event.” With the U.S. deadline looming for Russia to show progress on ending the Ukraine war, the Kremlin is pushing for a “successful and productive” outcome. However, Kyiv is unlikely to be part of the talks, as Russia dismisses Zelensky's inclusion and continues to label him “illegitimate” due to his expired term. #PutinTrump #TrumpPutinSummit #UAEPeaceTalks #UkraineWar #ZelenskyExcluded #Geopolitics #HistoricalEvent #PeaceSummit #BreakingNews #PutinTrump2025 #GlobalDiplomacy #USRussia #RussiaUkraine #TrumpDiplomacy #MiddleEastTalks #MohammedBinZayed #SteveWitkoff #KremlinStatement #UkraineCrisis #InternationalRelations #WorldLeadersMeet #ZelenskySnubbed #RussiaUSDialogue #DiplomaticShift #PutinRemarks #Ushakov #TrumpPeaceEffort #GlobalStakes #TrumpForeignPolicy #PutinNews #WarAndPeace Also Read Give Bully An Inch, He Takes A Mile: Chinese Envoy Comes Down Heavily On Trump's tariff On India :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/give-bully-an-inch-he-takes-a-mile-chinese-envoy-comes-down-heavily-on-trumps-tariff-on-india-011-7823649.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Tariffs By Country: A Complete List of New and Existing Rates After US Slapped 50% On India :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-tariffs-by-country-a-complete-list-of-new-and-existing-rates-011-7822615.html?ref=DMDesc Trump-Modi, Negotiate Like Real Friends: Singer Mary Millben's Advice To India-US Amid Tariff Threat :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-modi-negotiate-like-real-friends-singer-mary-millbens-advice-to-india-us-amid-tariff-threat-7821507.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~ED.194~GR.122~
