On Monday, President Trump called on President Trump to win his support for Ukraine to join the European Union (European Union), a conversation that came after discussions with European leaders who were in the White House, according to Bloomberg News on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The conversation with Urban, one of Trump’s most allies in Europe, resulted from the president’s deliberations on Monday with European leaders who were in Washington, along with Ukraine President Voludmir Zelinsky.
Senior European officials asked whether the president could take advantage of the influence on the Hungarian Prime Minister to force the national leader to get rid of his opposition to joining the European Union in Ukraine, a goal that Kiev has long sought.
Hungary has expressed its willingness to host the next summit, which includes Zelinski and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump supported the idea of Putin Zellinski’s summit, after which a triple meeting will be held between the two leaders and the American president.
The site and the timing for the meeting are unclear.
The White House is looking for a triple meeting between Trump, Putin and Zelinski in Budapest.
Urban, who has a warm relationship with Putin, has tried to prevent or delay the European Union’s attempts to send weapons to Ukraine in the past, along with, sometimes, against sanctions against the Kremlin.
The White House nor Urban’s office commented on the call.
Urban said on Tuesday on Facebook that Ukraine’s membership in the European Union “does not provide any security guarantees,” and thus, “linking membership in the security of security guarantees is unnecessary and dangerous.”
Trump’s invitation with Urban came on the same day when the president’s discussion with Putin, which lasted for about 40 minutes and stayed without European or Zelinski leaders in the room with the Supreme Leader.
The European officials and Zelinski gathering in Washington came on Monday a few days of Trump, along with Foreign Minister Marco Rubio and Steve Witkev’s special envoy with Putin, along with two other Russian officials, on Friday in Alaska.
Rubio is now leading the recently formed joint committee that will formulate the suggestion of security guarantees for Ukraine. The committee consists of US, European, Ukrainian and NATO officials.
Trump, who prompted the end of the Russia-Ukraine war, a conflict that has rushed for three and a half years, pointed to the opening to provide air support to Ukraine as part of security guarantees.
The president said on Tuesday: “We are ready to help them in things, especially, most likely, if you talk about the air because no one has things we have,” the president said on Tuesday.
