Washington, D.C. [US], August 17 (ANI): Sean Duffy, Secretary of the US Department of Transportation, praised President Donald Trump’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling Trump the best person to represent the United States on the global stage.
In a post on X, Duffy wrote, “There’s no one better to represent us on the world stage than US President Donald Trump. Peace through strength. Thank you, Mr. President!”
Earlier, Trump said on Saturday that his meeting with Putin in Alaska “went really well.” He also held a telephonic conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, several European leaders, and the Secretary General of NATO, stressing that all parties agreed a peace agreement is the best way forward.
The US President posted on Truth Social, “A great and very successful day in Alaska! The meeting with President Vladimir Putin of Russia went very well, as did a late-night phone call with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine, and various European leaders, including the highly respected Secretary General of NATO. It was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere Ceasefire Agreement, which oftentimes do not hold up.”
He also confirmed that Ukrainian President Zelenskyy will be traveling to Washington, D.C., on Monday, with the possibility of a meeting involving Putin if conditions align. “President Zelenskyy will be coming to D.C., the Oval Office, on Monday afternoon. If all works out, we will then schedule a meeting with President Putin. Potentially, millions of people’s lives will be saved. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump said.
On Friday, the United States and Russia held much-anticipated truce talks in Alaska aimed at ending the conflict in Ukraine. Russia’s top economic envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, said the US received Russia “very well” during the discussions and that both countries would continue building relations despite “resistance.”
