The brash and tough-talking President of the United States of America, Mr. Donald Trump has arrived in Anchorage, Alaska, for his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
According to CNN, Mr. Putin is expected to land in Alaska soon.
Trump told reporters on Air Force One en route to Alaska that he wasn’t having the meeting to broker a deal on behalf of Ukraine, but said instead, his goal was getting Putin to the table.
He also stopped short of promising security guarantees for Ukraine as part of a deal to end the war.
Trump said he spoke to Belarus’ President Alexander Lukashenko — a staunch Putin ally ahead of the summit.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, who is not invited to the summit, said Ukraine is “counting on America” and there’s “no indication” Russia is preparing to end the war.
