Trump says Witkoff, Kushner had 'reasonably good meeting' with Putin despite no breakthrough

U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner had a "reasonably good meeting" with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, adding that the U.S. negotiators believed Putin "would like to end the war,” in Ukraine, ABC News reported.

"I don't know what the Kremlin is doing. I can tell you that they had a reasonably good meeting with President Putin. We're going to find out. It's a war that should have never been started," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, according to ABC News.

Trump said he spoke with Witkoff and Kushner Tuesday night following their meeting at the Kremlin. 

"What comes out of that meeting? I can't tell you, because it does take two to tango," Trump said. 

"He would like to end the war," Trump said of Putin. "That was their impression. Now, whether or not you know that was their impression, you know their impression was that they'd like to see he would like to see the war ended."

"I think he'd like to get back to dealing a more normal life. I think he'd like to be trading with the United States of America, frankly, instead of, you know, losing thousands of soldiers a week. But their impression was very strongly that he'd like to make a deal," Trump said of Putin. 

Witkoff and Kushner have invited Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council Secretary Rustem Umerov to Miami on Thursday for further peace talks, ABC News reported citing a senior U.S. administration official.
