“Human organs can be constantly transplanted, to the extent that people can get younger, perhaps even immortal,” he said.
The summit with Mr Trump was largely about managing tensions between the world’s two most powerful countries.
“If the Iranians are willing to work in good faith with us, I think we can make an agreement,” Mr Vance said.
Mr Merz said the conflict was likely to conclude only when one side is either militarily or economically exhausted.
Mr Putin insisted that Moscow be the venue for negotiations, as he had proposed during his visit to China earlier this week.
Mr Putin also questioned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s legitimacy to conduct negotiations.
His comments come amid continued efforts to end the war in Ukraine, which began with Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022.
Beyond Trump-Putin lovefest, Zelenskyy’s brinkmanship, and Europe’s indifference to genuine Russian concerns about being encircled, something must give for peace to take hold.
Messrs Trump and Zelensky hoped that the cordial talks would ensure a trilateral meeting with Russian president.
Mr Zelensky said that it was time to end the war, and Russia must take the corresponding steps.
