CNN reported that Trump's possible participation remains an open question, which, according to a senior official, will largely depend on whether Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin attends the talks.

"It is all very dynamic right now," one of the anonymous officials told CNN, adding that "no one knows much" about what the situation will be like on Thursday.

Regardless of whether Trump takes part in the talks or not, Trump’s special envoys to Ukraine and the Middle East, Keith Kellogg and Steve Witkoff, plan to travel to Istanbul for the negotiations.
