Trump: ‘I Will Meet Putin As Soon As We Can Set It Up’

The world is already safer and will become even more secure over the next 2 to 3 weeks, declared US President Donald Trump on May 16, 2025, from the United Arab Emirates. Trump added that he would meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin as soon as the meeting can be arranged. Referring to the situation in Gaza, Trump stated, ‘We need to resolve it. Many people are starving. There are many bad things happening there.’ Meanwhile, speaking yesterday to journalists in Antalya, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the US is not indifferent to the suffering of people in Gaza, where no humanitarian aid has been delivered since February 2nd. Additionally, Rubio mentioned today that they are open to any new ideas that would allow aid delivery to Gaza, after a plan supported by the US and Israel received harsh criticism. ‘We are open to an alternative if someone has a better one. We support all the help we can gather without Hamas being able to steal it from the population,’ Rubio told reporters during his visit to Turkey.
