President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that U.S. President Donald Trump is ready to join a Ukraine peace summit in Türkiye, but only if Russian President Vladimir Putin also agrees to attend.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan revealed on Thursday that Donald Trump has expressed readiness to visit Türkiye for peace talks on Ukraine—provided Russian President Vladimir Putin also agrees to take part.
Erdogan made the remarks while speaking to Turkish reporters aboard his plane after returning from the NATO summit in The Hague. He said the proposal was part of broader efforts to de-escalate the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
"Our ultimate goal is to host a leaders' summit in our country and achieve the long-awaited peace," Erdogan stated. "I informed President Trump of this during our meeting in The Hague. He stated that if Putin comes to Istanbul or Ankara for a settlement, he would also be willing to attend."
Erdogan added that diplomatic preparations would begin soon. "We will initiate the necessary contacts and, I hope, hold the meeting as soon as possible," he said, according to remarks published by Anadolu Agency.
Türkiye has repeatedly positioned itself as a mediator in the conflict, hosting previous rounds of dialogue and maintaining working relations with both Moscow and Kyiv. Ankara’s strategic location and Erdogan’s long-standing ties with both Putin and Trump place it in a unique position to facilitate negotiations.
No official response has yet come from the Kremlin regarding Erdogan’s proposal or Trump’s reported willingness to attend the summit.
