President Donald Trump predicted he would probably meet with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, suggesting that he saw a potential face-to-face encounter as the only way to broker an end to the war in Ukraine.

“I think we’ll make a deal. We have to get together and I think we’ll probably schedule it because I’m tired of having other people go and meet and everything else,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News on Friday evening.
