White House spox says she's unaware of preconditions for Putin-Trump meeting

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said she was not aware of any preconditions set for a possible meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, after the US president announced on Wednesday that both leaders agreed to visit each other’s countries.

She added: “That doesn’t mean they don’t exist.”

“I was just talking with the president and our national security team, I wasn’t made aware of any conditions, but if they exist, I’m happy to provide those,” Leavitt told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.

Leavitt also said that retired Gen. Keith Kellogg, the president’s envoy to Ukraine and Russia, is still part of the administration — despite Trump not listing him among those leading the negotiations between the two nations.

In November, Trump nominated Kellogg to serve as assistant to the president and special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, writing on Truth Social that, “Together, we will secure PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH.”
