US President Donald Trump said that he did not expect dictator Putin’s visit to Istanbul.

This is reported by Censor.NET with reference to AP.
“I actually said, ‘Why would he go if I’m not going?’ Because I wasn’t going to go. I wasn’t going to go. I would have gone, but I didn’t plan on it. And I said I don’t think he’s going to go if I’m not going,” he said.
Trump previously suggested that he might attend talks between Ukraine and Russia in Turkey on May 16. Джерело: https://censor.net/ua/n3552341

trumpov has the eloquence of a 5 yo. If Koko the gorilla would have had vocal chords, she would have spoken better english than him
The offer of :
“Free gas any day Trump doesn’t say something stupid” remains as safe as houses. Nothing comes out except drivel; most of it anti-Ukraine too. He still claims revoltingly that Zel is “the obstacle to peace.”
Putin wanted to go, it was his idea from the beginning. Since the orange idiot threatened to come, after getting bribed by the arabs with a $400 mio plane, Putler changed his mind i guess. Nobody wants to talk to Trump, not even his wife. 😁
putler was never going to go. The plan from the beginning was for a 30 day ceasefire with no preconditions. Instead of outright saying No, which might have risked sanctions, putler proposed more peace talks. President Zelensky called putler’s bluff and showed up in Turkey, to show trumpkov who wants peace and who doesn’t.
trumpkov is making a lame excuse in order to avoid following through on sanctioning his butt-buddy.
What you mean to say is, I’m looking for the slightest excuse not to impose any sanctions on my boss.
Russia sent a “phony” delegation to Turkey, – Zelensky in Ankara
TRUMP: MAY BE I GO FOR A THIRD TERM AFTER ALL…………………….(HE STATED IN QATAR)
