During the call both leaders "agreed to work together, very closely, including visiting each other's Nations," according to Trump's Truth Social post. The US president announced the formation of a negotiation team, naming four high-level officials to lead potential peace talks:
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio
- CIA Director John Retkliff
- National Security Advisor Michael Waltz
- Special Envoy Steve Witkoff
According to Trump's announcement, the immediate next step would be to contact Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to inform him about their conversation.
"We agreed to work together, very closely, including visiting each other's Nations. We have also agreed to have our respective teams start negotiations immediately, and we will begin by calling President Zelenskyy, of Ukraine, to inform him of the conversation, something which I will be doing right now," Trump wrote.
