The war in Ukraine, sparked by Russia’s 2022 invasion, has generated extensive U.S. military and diplomatic support for Kyiv. Throughout his post-presidency, Trump has repeatedly questioned the level of aid to Ukraine and expressed openness to a trilateral meeting with Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Earlier reporting indicated that Putin had proposed such a meeting during a recent call with Trump.
