Trump confirmed on Truth Social that he "just had a good and very productive telephone call with President Putin" ahead of his meeting with Zelensky.
The latter "will take place in the main dining room of Mar-a-Lago. Press is invited," Trump added.
Sunday's call was the ninth of its kind since Trump's return to power. All of the discussions have revolved around efforts to end the conflict in Ukraine, and reestablish Russia-US cooperation, including in trade and investments.
In early December, the Trump administration released a new National Security Strategy that drops the 'Russian threat' language, and states that "it is a core interest of the United States to negotiate an expeditious cessation of hostilities in Ukraine, in order to stabilize European economies, prevent unintended escalation or expansion of the war, and reestablish strategic stability with Russia, as well as to enable the post-hostilities reconstruction of Ukraine to enable its survival as a viable state."
