'After that meeting takes place, we will have a Trilat, which would be the two Presidents, plus myself,' he added.
Trump held separate meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and key European leaders at the White House Monday on the prospects of a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia.
'If Russia proposed to president of the United States bilateral, and then we will see the result of bilateral, and then can be the trilateral,' Zelensky told reporters after the meeting.
Zelensky added that no date has been confirmed for any potential talks with Putin.
