It is noted that Rubio and Lavrov do not plan to hold a personal meeting.
A meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is not planned for the near future, Reuters reports, citing an unnamed White House official.
The source told journalists that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov also do not plan to meet in person. He described their phone conversation as “productive.”
It’s worth noting that NBC News journalist Garrett Haake, citing a senior White House official, previously reported on social media that planning for the Budapest summit had been put on hold:
“The first phone call between Senator Rubio and Foreign Minister Lavrov was ‘productive,’ but the US President believes that both sides are not yet ready for negotiations to justify holding them now.”

The calls are always called ‘productive’, but why are there never, ever, never and never any results?
“The first phone call between Senator Rubio and Foreign Minister Lavrov was ‘productive,’ but the US President believes that both sides are not yet ready for negotiations to justify holding them now.”
What part of Zelensky saying he’ll meet putler anywhere, is both sides are not ready? Only one side is stalling for time, even a two year old can see that.
We could have told them that a week ago.
Trump doesn’t believe he’s being strung along, that’s the problem. You can bet if he told putler that the Tomahawks are on the way to Ukraine, you would soon see a 3 way meeting set up.
No Tomahawks i guess. All planned ahead by a dick-sucking fake king and his ruSSian master…
