Organizing a summit takes some work.
Oval Office chief Donald Trump wants to hold a meeting with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin as soon as possible and has made a public proposal to that effect. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said this on the air of the Face the Nation program, reports Dialog.UA.
The U.S. foreign policy chief reiterated the opinion that a direct dialogue between Trump and Putin could help in ending Russia's war against Ukraine.
"The only thing that can loosen this blind corner is a direct conversation between Trump and Putin. He (Trump - ed.) has already openly voiced the desire and confidence that this should happen. We hope it will be resolved soon," the U.S. diplomatic chief said.
Answering the host's question whether such a meeting is already being prepared, Rubio reiterated that the U.S. has publicly declared its readiness for the meeting and noted that organizing such a summit "requires some work."
The date and place of the meeting are not yet available. In addition, Rubio spoke on the topic of a possible mediatory role of the Vatican in the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. According to him, possible forms of the Holy See's participation in the peace process are being discussed.
"I would not call it (the Vatican - ed.) a mediator, but it is certainly a place where both sides would be comfortable to turn to," the secretary of state said.
