Today in Alaska, at 11:00 PM Yerevan time, the much-anticipated meeting between Trump and Putin will take place—an event the whole world is eagerly awaiting. This will be the first personal meeting between the leaders of the two countries since June 2021, when Putin met with then-U.S. President Joe Biden in Geneva.
In addition, Vladimir Putin will become the first Russian leader to visit Alaska, according to the White House.
U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that he will be able to tell within the first few minutes of his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin whether the meeting will be successful and whether peace can be achieved in the near future.
“In the first two, three, four, or five minutes, I will understand whether this meeting will go well or badly,” Trump told reporters at the White House.
The U.S. President emphasized that if the meeting goes poorly, it will end very quickly, but if it goes well, “we will achieve peace in the near future.”
At the same time, according to Trump, if he were not President of the United States, the Russian side would focus on “capturing all of Ukraine” instead of negotiations.
