WASHINGTON — President Trump appeared to confirm Friday that he will soon meet one-on-one with Russian President Vladimir Putin in yet another attempt to end Moscow’s 41-month-old invasion of Ukraine.

“We’re going to have a meeting with Russia, start off with Russia , and we’ll announce a location,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

“I think the location will be a very popular one, for a lot of reasons, but we’ll be announcing that a little bit later,” the president added. 3

Trump, 79, previously imposed a Friday deadline on Putin to reach a cease-fire with Ukraine or face secondary sanctions connected to Russian energy sales.

The president announced an additional 25% tariff on India related to its oil purchases earlier this week, to take effect Aug. 27.
