00:00The president said at the podium yesterday twice that he was planning to go to Russia.

00:04Was that a verbal slip-up or does he actually plan to go to Russia?

00:08Perhaps there are plans in the future to travel to Russia.

00:11And on Friday, the president will be meeting with the Russian president Vladimir Putin in Alaska, as you know.

00:17On Friday morning, President Trump will travel across the country to Anchorage, Alaska

00:22for a bilateral meeting with Russian president Vladimir Putin.

00:26The brutal war between Russia and Ukraine broke out under Joe Biden's incompetent leadership.

00:32But President Trump is determined to try and end this war and stop the killing.

00:37As the president has said over and over again, his strong preference will always be for peace and partnership

00:44whenever those outcomes can possibly be achieved.

00:47There is no leader in the world right now who has been more committed to preventing wars or ending them than President Donald Trump.

00:55Thank you, Caroline.

00:56Regarding the President Trump's summit on Friday, why not invite Ukrainian President Zelensky to that summit?

01:05I know the president said yesterday that he planned to speak with him right after the summit and even before.

01:09But why not invite Zelensky?

01:11And whose decision was it to not invite him?

01:12Was it the president or was it President Putin?

01:14Well, this meeting came about because the president of Russia asked the president of the United States

01:19to meet through his special envoy, Steve Whitcoff, who, as you all know, traveled to Russia to have a conversation with Putin at his request.

01:28And so the president is agreeing to this meeting at the request of President Putin.

01:33And the goal of this meeting for the president is to walk away with a better understanding of how we can end this war.

01:40And the president said at this podium yesterday when he joined all of you in the room

01:44that he hopes in the future there can be a trilateral meeting with these three leaders to finally bring this conflict to an end.

01:51But this administration has really used every lever, has taken every measure to achieve peace through a diplomatic solution.

02:00And I think the president of the United States getting in the room with the president of Russia sitting face to face

02:06rather than speaking over the telephone will give this president the best indication of how to end this war and where this is headed.
