The mysterious on-again, off-again Trump-Putin meeting in Paris (written today)
There's a chance President Trump’s second substantive meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin may happen this weekend in Paris, when world leaders gather to commemorate the 100th anniversary of World War I’s end. Or it may not.
The prevailing explanation is that Trump is showing respect to French President Emmanuel Macron by downplaying possible contact with Putin, so as not to distract from the elaborate French ceremonies for 40 million war dead.
But some experts believe unannounced talks may happen anyhow during Trump’s less than 48 hours in France.
“Russians do want to meet, but Trump — the president of chaos — wants to keep things interesting, for us to keep guessing, as he always does,” said Nina Khrushcheva, a New School international affairs expert and granddaughter of Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev.
“All in all, it is Trump, the showman, who has Putin, the spy man, where he wants him, not the other way around,” she said.
A Trump-Putin meeting was first confirmed Oct. 23 during a visit to Moscow by national security adviser John Bolton, who said “President Trump would look forward to meeting” with Putin in France, sending reporters scrambling to cover the first in-person talks between the leaders since an explosive Helsinki meeting in July.
Last week, however, Bolton said “it’s likely to be brief,” before Trump said Monday he would “probably not” meet with Putin. On Wednesday, a Kremlin official told the press there would be a “short working lunch” with Trump, though Trump downplayed it, describing it as a multinational meal.
“While Bolton, when he was in Moscow, agreed to the meeting in Paris, scheduling it proved difficult because of Macron’s sensitivity about Trump and Putin diverting attention from the elaborate WWI events. Since the G-20 is just a few weeks away, Buenos Aires seems to be the more practical choice, and they will not have a formal sit-down in Paris,” Vershbow said.
Vershbow speculated that the “working lunch” could mean, from a Russian perspective, that Trump and Putin are scheduled to sit next to each other among a broader group of world leaders.
Alina Polyakova, a Russia expert at the Brookings Institution, said she also is hearing that the abandoned meeting is a nod to French hosts.
But Polyakova, who is in Paris for the gathering, suspects that Trump will still find a chance to speak with Putin there.
“Over the last weeks, the meeting has been downgraded from an official bilateral to now what sounds like an informal chat in the corridors or on the sidelines of the lunch with other leaders,” she said. “The message is: This is not a summit between Trump and Putin, it’s an international forum hosted by France. I have no doubt, however, that Putin and Trump want to meet and will find an opportunity to do so even if officially it’s a ‘nonmeeting.’”
