Trump Issues Warning to Putin After Summit Prep with Europe

The meeting aims to explore possible ways to end the Ukraine war, with the White House calling it a listening exercise and no immediate peace deal expected.

  • On Friday, US President Donald Trump will meet Vladimir Putin in Alaska, marking their first direct talks since Trump's return to the White House in January.
  • Last week, the White House and Kremlin announced the meeting after US special envoy Steve Witkoff visited Putin, and on Monday Trump said it would gauge Putin's war-ending parameters.
  • The White House downplayed peace prospects by calling the meeting a `listening exercise`, and Karoline Leavitt said only one war party will attend, Russia remaining largely quiet.
  • Excluding Ukraine has prompted concerns from Kyiv and European leaders, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not expected to participate, while Trump said he would call Zelenskyy first out of respect.
  • Earlier this year, Trump said he was `very angry` with Putin and threatened to target Russia's economy with taxes, as demands remain unclear.
