“I think that there is a good chance that we can make a deal,” U.S. President Donald Trump said
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, the U.S. president’s son-in-law and former adviser, met with a Ukrainian delegation in Hallandale Beach, Fla., on Sunday, according to the U.S. State Department. Witkoff will reportedly travel to Moscow on Tuesday to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
According to some reports, Kushner will go to Russia as well, but not Rubio.
“Can someone explain to me why special envoy Witkoff and the president’s son-in-law participate in negotiations with both the Ukrainians and Russians, but our secretary of state only talks to the Ukrainians and is not leading the delegation to talk to Putin?” wrote Michael McFaul, a Stanford University professor and U.S. ambassador to Russia under the Biden administration. “I don’t get it.”
