Leavitt is asked whose idea was it to next have a bilateral meeting between Putin and Zelensky, rather than a trilateral meeting including Trump – a plan Trump outlined on social media yesterday.
She says that decision evolved through conversations with Putin and Zelenksy and the European leaders on Monday.
They all agreed it would be a good thing if these two leaders sit down together and “the president expects that to happen.”
She is asked about the Kremlin indicating that Putin has not agreed to a bilateral meeting with just Zelensky on the phone.
She assures the reporter that the Trump administration is working to get that meeting to happen.
She is also asked why Trump had a private conversation with Putin, during his meeting with the European leaders.
She says the other leaders were grateful that Trump had a call with Putin, and again declines to be drawn on meeting location possibilities.
Though Trump has clearly stated he won’t deploy American troops on the ground Ukraine, Leavitt says support from the air is “an option and a possibility” as part of security guarantees.
”I can tell you he’s definitively ruled out boots on the ground,” she said, but adds that Trump may still explore other military support options.
