United States President Donald Trump
United States President Donald Trump has skipped the peace talks in Turkey to visit new grandchild.
Speaking at an event in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Trump said his daughter, Tiffany, had just given birth to a baby, and he wanted to see his grandchild as soon as possible.
He said he wanted to meet his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, “as soon as he can set it up” but will not be at the Friday talks in Turkey, opting instead to return to Washington to see his newest grandchild.
He added that he should have returned last night but did not want to disappoint his Abu Dhabi hosts.

He argued that there would be no real progress in peace efforts until he personally met with Putin, dpa reported.
The president said: “We’re gonna get it done. We gotta get it done.
