0:34Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump has his sights once again on ending the war in Ukraine, announcing another meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin after a first summit in Alaska failed to yield progress.
The president framed the decision, announced after he spoke with Putin for more than two hours Thursday, as a plan to bring peace at last to a conflict that he once claimed he’d solve within a day. But it also deflates any pressure that had been building on Putin in recent weeks as Trump vented frustration with the Russian leader’s foot-dragging to end the war.
Trump’s call with Putin also preempted a meeting he’s set to have on Friday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Trump had adopted an increasingly warmer tone toward Zelenskiy in recent weeks as he cooled on Putin — a stark change from his more frigid stance toward the Ukrainian leader earlier in his administration, including a public dressing down in the Oval Office earlier this year.
