Today, U.S. President Donald Trump, who indicated he would attend the Russia-Ukraine summit to be held at Dolmabahçe Palace in Istanbul, changed his plans at the last minute and gave a date once again.
"I SAID PUTIN WOULDN'T COME, I WAS RIGHT"
Trump, who stated he might come to Istanbul tomorrow, said, "I said if I don't go, Putin won't come, and I was right. If necessary, I can go to Istanbul. I believe we will do good work with Russia and Ukraine. I hope Russia and Ukraine will do something; the war must be stopped," he expressed. Trump's remarks were interpreted as suggesting that a ceasefire agreement could be signed tomorrow with the arrival of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"I DON'T BELIEVE IN SECRECY, IT'S MOSTLY RELATED TO FORM"
Trump continued his statements by saying, "We were going to make a simple update to the F-35s. I call it the F-55, but I don't like single-engine planes. The F-35s break down from time to time; this will be a nice update for the F-35s. China copied our planes. I said they copied our F-22 design. I think this is the best plane in the world. I don't believe in secrecy; most of it is related to form."
"WE ARE FOCUSING ON SUBMARINES"
Emphasizing that the U.S. will develop its military industry, Trump added, "There will be a great variety in drones. We are also focusing on submarines. They only have to come up for food. I don't know if you can imagine that."
WHAT HAPPENED?
Russian President Vladimir Putin was not included in the delegation published by the Kremlin for the planned talks with Ukraine in Istanbul on Thursday.
Following Putin, it was announced that U.S. President Donald Trump would also not come to Istanbul. The White House stated that the President would not participate in the talks.
While heading to Qatar as part of his Middle East visit, Trump told reporters on Air Force One, "I might go to Turkey; Putin wants me to come too. If I don't go, Putin won't go either. So, I might go to Turkey as part of my Middle East visit," he said.
