U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed his upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on the 15th, describing it as a ‘tentative’ meeting. Trump acknowledged the potential for positive or negative outcomes but expressed optimism about a constructive dialogue. He believes initial assessments of the outcome can be made within the first two minutes, drawing from his experience in negotiating deals. Following the Alaska summit, Trump envisions further discussions between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Putin, with the possibility of a trilateral meeting involving U.S., Russian, and Ukrainian leaders should be necessary. He also hinted at potential trade agreements resulting from a possible Russia-Ukraine peace accord, potentially boosting relations between the U.S. and Russia.
