Trump's Meeting With Putin Could Determine the Trajectory of the Russia-Ukraine War

3 days ago President Donald Trump is flying to Alaska and a high-stakes summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin at a U.S. military base. Friday’s meeting could influence the war in Ukraine and European security. The Republican U.S. president aims to showcase his skills as a dealmaker. Trump says his talks with Putin will include Russian demands Ukraine cede territory as part of a peace deal. For Putin, the meeting is a chance to negotiate terms that favor Russia. The summit excludes Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, which could undermine Ukraine's interests. Trump has expressed hopes for a broader peace deal, but success is uncertain. The meeting's outcome could have significant implications for international relations and U.S. diplomacy.
