Trump asked special envoy Steve Witkoff to brief his Cabinet colleagues on the diplomatic track. “We had five Russian generals last Sunday in Abu Dhabi with Jared, I, and Dan Driscoll,” he said. “The talks will continue in about a week,” Witkoff said. Witkoff described draft frameworks already taking shape. “Because of the cold, extreme cold… I personally asked President Putin not to fire on Kiev and the cities and towns for a week during this,” Trump said.
