White House says Trump-Putin meeting is a 'listening exercise'
- U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin are scheduled to hold a summit on Friday at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska.
- The meeting was prompted by Putin's request and amid ongoing Russia's invasion of Ukraine since February 2022, with Moscow demanding retention of occupied territories and Kyiv's NATO renunciation.
- White House officials describe the summit as a listening exercise for Trump to better understand how to end the war, but only one party to the conflict will be present, and Kyiv’s absence raises concerns.
- Trump acknowledged he might know within minutes if Putin genuinely seeks peace, while discussions consider potential land swaps, a notion repeatedly rejected by Ukrainian President Zelenskyy.
- Despite hopes for progress, the White House and European Union downplay the prospects of a deal, indicating the summit may ease Putin's isolation but unlikely achieve a ceasefire without Ukraine’s involvement.
