00:00In other news, U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have agreed to hold another summit on the war in Ukraine after their first meeting in Alaska failed to make headway.
00:12The follow-up could take place in Budapest within two weeks. The surprise move comes just as U.S. signaled new weapons support for Kiev.
00:23Trump described a recent two-hour phone call with Putin as productive, though the Russian leader warned that supplying long-range missiles to Ukraine could harm the peace process and damage U.S.-Russia relations.
00:39Trump, however, said he believes a peace deal is within reach, adding he has made deals all his life and hopes this one will be done soon.
00:49The announcement comes just ahead of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's visit to Washington on Friday, where he is expected to push for more weapons, including U.S.-made Tomahawk missiles.
01:03Trump has been signaling new support for Kiev in recent days, but his warmer tone toward Putin raises questions about whether the military aid will actually be delivered.
01:13Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has close ties with Putin, confirmed he spoke with Trump and offered to host the summit.
