Trump: I believe the two leaders [Putin and Zelensky] will be there [in Istanbul].

I was thinking about flying over. I don’t know where I’m going to be on Thursday.

I’ve got so many meetings. But there’s a possibility of it. 1/

Q: Are you ready to impose sanctions on Russia if Putin doesn’t agree with the 30-day ceasefire?

Trump: I have a feeling they’re going to agree. I do. I have a feeling. 2/

Trump: Thursday's meeting with Russia and Ukraine is very important.

I was very insistent that that meeting take place. Good things can come out of that meeting. 3/

Trump: They [Ukraine and Russia] couldn't get a meeting because one said ceasefire, one said no ceasefire. It was going back and forth.

I said, 'Look, at this point we got to stop it. Go to the meeting on Thursday. It’s set'. 4/

Q: If Putin doesn’t show up in Turkey, will you join Europe in putting higher sanctions on Russia?

Trump: If I felt it would be important toward getting the deal done. 5/

Trump: On Saturday my administration helped broker a full and immediate cease-fire - I think a permanent one - between India and Pakistan.

It has ended a dangerous conflict with two nations with lots of nuclear weapons. 6/

Trump on India and Pakistan conflict: I said, 'Come on, we’re going to do a lot of trade with you guys. Let’s stop it. If you don’t stop it, we’re not going to do any trade.'

People never really used trade the way I used it, that I can tell you. 7/

Trump: Yesterday we achieved a total reset with China after talks in Geneva.

Both sides agreed to reduce the tariffs imposed after April 2nd to 10% for 90 days. 8/

Trump: We also created a situation where the Houthis, for the first time ever, have ceased firing.

And they’ve let it be known that they are not going to be firing at American ships anymore. 9X
