President Donald Trump said he would “walk” away if today’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin does not go well.
In a clip from an interview aboard Air Force One with Fox News’ Bret Baier posted on X, Trump predicted the talks would “work out very well — and if it doesn’t, I’m going to head back home real fast.”
“I would walk, yeah,” he added in response to a follow-up question.
Later Friday, Trump shared another video from a press gaggle aboard the plane. Asked what would define a successful summit, he replied: “I want to see a ceasefire rapidly. I don’t know if it’s going to be today but I’m not going to be happy if it’s not today. I’m in this to stop the killing.”
