US President Donald Trump said a few days ago that he would hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine. According to the BBC report, Donald Trump has chosen Saudi Arabia for this important conversation and because of this people have a question that why he has chosen this place? Trump did not tell when he will meet with Putin but there is a possibility of meeting between the two soon.
He also informed that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia can also attend this conversation. Also, Saudi Arabia has also welcomed this possible initiative. Let us know that Trump spoke to Putin and Ukraine President Volodimir Jailonsky on different phones on 12 February to stop the war between Russia and Ukraine. Shortly thereafter, he mentioned the possible meeting with Putin.
In a conversation with Putin, Trump mentioned the possibility of discussion in Saudi Arabia
Along with this, Trump also said that the representative teams of America and Russia will start discussing immediately for this. After this, on Friday, Saudi Arabia also issued a statement, “We appreciate the phone conversation between Trump and Putin and the possibility of discussion in Saudi.” The statement said that Saudi Arabia will continue to support in peace efforts between Russia and Ukraine.
Let us know that China and the United Arab Emirates also offered hosting for the possible conversation between Trump and Putin. However, according to the BBC report, Paul Salim, vice president of the Middle East Institute in Washington, says, “Saudi Arabia is a better option to meet Trump and Putin, as it is a neutral place.” According to Salim, meeting in the European country will not be useful as Europe has a strong side in the war of Ukraine.
Saudi Arabia has played the role of mediator before
Saudi Arabia has previously played the role of an intermediary in Russia and Ukraine war in different ways and due to this, Saudi Arabia has gained confidence of both. Not only this, Saudi Arabia has also played the role of an intermediary in releasing American citizens who are jailed in Russia. Recently, Saudi Arabia played an important role in the release of a person. Saudi’s Crown Prince played an important role in the release of the person.
Actually, Russia had detailed an American teacher Mark Phogal for three years and has recently released it. Not only this, Saudi has also invited Putin and Jailonsky in view of the possibility of peace agreement.
America also included its own interests
In fact, when Trump became the President of America in 2017, he also traveled to Saudi Arabia’s first foreign foreign and this increased the diplomatic stature of Saudi Arabia globally. After this, now Trump is also indicating in his second term that his first foreign trip can be from Saudi Arabia.
In a conversation with journalists last month, Trump said that if Saudi Arabia wants to buy products worth 450 or US $ 500 billion, then he will definitely go to Saudi Arabia. A few days later, Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia had said that he wants to invest about $ 500 billion in the next four years.
