What is known about the Alaska summit between Trump and Putin on Friday
by CNN International
President Donald Trump with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday.
Trump hopes to focus exclusively at the end of the war in Ukraine, leaving other issues to another occasion that Kremlin indicated to be under discussion-including the normalization of US-Russian relations.
This is what is known about the bilateral encounter:
Ukraine not represented: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, although Trump said he plans to call Kiev and other European leaders immediately after the meeting.
Go: Trump introduced his summit as a moment to realize and acknowledged that new meetings would be needed to reach a final peace agreement. The White House described the meeting as a “listening exercise”, seeming to reduce expectations as to an agreement.
Divergence points: Trump said his goal is, ultimately, sitting Putin and Zelensky in the same room to solve his differences, and he drew that only they could find a way to finish war through some “exchange of territories” with each other. Zelensky, stating that abandoning the Donbass region would make way for Putin to “start a third war” in Ukraine.
Logistics: Summer is a high time of tourism in Alaska and the available and suitable options to receive US and Russia presidents were limited. Only, at the north limit of Anchorage, it met the organizers’ requirements for the holding of the historic meeting, although the White House wanted to avoid the perception of welcoming the Russian leader and his entourage in a US military facility.
