Steve Witkoff continues to be Donald Trump’s main man abroad. His most recent trip: Russia, where he privately met with Vladimir Putin. Witkoff discussed his trip on "Face the Nation" and mentioned bringing a message from President Trump to Putin and receiving a private message for Trump in return.

"There were all kinds of conversations back then about Ukraine joining NATO. The president has spoken about this. That didn't need to happen. It basically became a threat to the Russians," Steve Witko

President Donald Trump teased a possible meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Monday from the Oval Office, amid his “serious discussions" with Russian President Vladimir Putin about ending the war between Russia and Ukraine.

President Trump says he may meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the coming weeks as part of his efforts to end the war with Ukraine. Mr. Trump also said he is open to visiting Moscow in the future as he took questions during his reunion with France's Emmanuel Macron at the White House.

Trump’s animus toward Zelensky dates to his first term and the extortionate “perfect” 2019 phone call that led to Trump’s first impeachment. Explaining Trump’s unseemly infatuation with Putin is more challenging.
