Top Trump administration officials are scheduled to hold talks with senior Russian officials in Saudi Arabia to initiate discussions aimed at resolving the conflict in Ukraine. The meeting is expected to include National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff. President Donald Trump recently expressed his desire to swiftly end the nearly three-year war in Ukraine following a productive phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Mike McCaul confirmed the plans for the meeting, emphasizing the involvement of Rubio, Waltz, and Witkoff in engaging with Ukrainian and Russian representatives. The State Department announced Rubio's upcoming travel to Saudi Arabia as part of a broader trip to Munich and the Middle East.
