Mikey Smith, the Deputy Political Editor at the Mirror, reports on Trump’s claims of ending conflicts and his upcoming meeting with Putin in Hungary. Trump believes his recent successes can resolve the war in Ukraine and plans to discuss the issue with Putin in Hungary. The potential meeting between the two leaders, along with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, raises concerns given their authoritarian backgrounds.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to meet with Trump to seek support in the form of long-range Tomahawk missiles. However, Trump’s recent call with Putin hinted at a reluctance to supply Ukraine with such weaponry, citing concerns about US resources.
During the call, Trump highlighted the importance of Tomahawk missiles for US defense and hinted at Putin’s opposition to arming Ukraine. The discussion also led to a planned face-to-face meeting between Trump and Putin in Budapest, following their recent phone conversation.
The location of the upcoming meeting holds significance as it was where the 1994 agreement on Ukraine’s sovereignty was signed. In a separate event, RFK Jr. made controversial statements about teenage boys’ sperm counts, which were criticized for lacking substantial evidence.
