Trump Putin Meeting: 7-Hour Summit Details

Key day for the future of the Russian War against Ukraine and the relations between the US and Russia, with Europe as a great absent on the table. Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin have started their meeting in Alaska, which can last “between 6 and 7 hours”, as the Russian delegation has warned. The American tycoon has warned, of course, that he is willing to “get up and leave” if he does not see progress.

Originally, the meeting was going to start with a face -to -face meeting between the two presidents before the members of the two delegations, but the White House spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, reported that the format has changed, and that The meeting will have the three members of each team from the beginning. On the American side will be the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, and the special envoy for Ukraine, Steve Witkoff, who was the one who negotiated this meeting.

Trump has been lowering expectations in the last hours, saying that his goal is to “see what” Putin thinks and lay the foundations for future negotiations, in which “Ukraine will have to make the decision” that is necessary. “I am not here to negotiate on behalf of Ukraine, I am to take both to the negotiating table“He said.

Trump has also said that he would be willing to offer security guarantees to Ukraine and Europe once the war ends, but “not in the form of NATO”, discarding the accession of the Eastern country to the Military Alliance.

Regarding the economic agreements that Putin had put on the table, the tycoon explained that he is willing to reset the relations between the two countries, and has indicated that Russia needs peace because “they are not very good” economically. But, yes, Any agreement would only come “after a definitive fire.”

Anyway, for Putin it is already a success to be in the US, where he had been considered ‘Non Grata’ for decades, without offering any concession. His objective, and the fear of European capitals is that the former KGB agent offers Trump to Trump an agreement so juicy that the businessman ends up agreeing all the key points that insists that he will not sign without European approval. What comes out tonight can depend the immediate future of world geopolitics.
