U.S. President Donald Trump said in a Fox News interview aired late Thursday that he and Russian President Vladimir Putin remain divided over an unspecified "big issue" and that the matter has yet to be finalized. Pressed by host Sean Hannity to identify the point of contention, Trump declined, saying he would "rather not" disclose details while discussions continue. Trump added that the issue may become public through other channels and hinted that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky would also need to sign off on any eventual agreement. He did not elaborate on the substance of the negotiations or provide a timeline for resolution.
