Vance made it clear that Trump was determined to make a peace deal in Ukraine and that there would be incentives on the table for Russia to cooperate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you look at President Trump\u2019s approach to this, the range of options is extremely broad, and there are economic tools of leverage. There are, of course, military tools of leverage. There\u2019s a whole host of things that we could do. But fundamentally, I think the President wants to have a productive negotiation, both with Putin and with Zelenskyy,\u201d Vance told The Journal.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-10\">Advertisement<\/p>\n<div id=\"ld-12578241793956198-359\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI think there is a deal that is going to come out of this that\u2019s going to shock a lot of people,\u201d Vance added.<\/p>\n<p>Vance\u2019s remarks came just one day before the vice president was scheduled to meet Zelenskyy in Munich. European officials said they would closely monitor the conversations to see where Trump stands on ending the almost three-year Russia-Ukraine conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Before Vance\u2019s trip, Trump said he had a \u201clengthy conversation\u201d with Putin.<\/p>\n<p>Writing on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump said the two leaders \u201cagreed to work together, very closely.\u201d<\/p>\n<div
