Trump would attend Russia-Ukraine talks ‘if appropriate’

During a morning briefing in Doha, Trump said he would consider travelling to Istanbul on Friday “if it was appropriate”, referring to Russia-Ukraine peace talks hosted in the Turkish metropolis.

“If something happened, I’d go Friday, if it was appropriate,” Trump said at a meeting with business leaders in Qatar’s capital.

“We have people right now negotiating, and I think that I just hope that Russia and Ukraine are able to do something.”
