Trump and Putin convene in Alaska on a Friday.
The White House has announced a revised date for the much-anticipated meeting between US President Donald Trump and Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin, scheduled for August 16. The initial meeting, which was set for August 15, was announced by White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany. However, the Kremlin has yet to confirm their acceptance of the revised date.
The proposed meeting, to be held in Alaska, is expected to focus on discussions aimed at ending the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia. According to reports, President Trump had suggested a potential "land swap" as a means to resolve or ease the conflict. Details about which territories would be involved, the terms of such an agreement, and the reactions from Ukraine or other international actors are not yet fully known.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned against "decisions made without Ukraine," indicating his concern about the potential outcome of the talks. The exact agenda for the meeting has not been disclosed by either the White House or the Kremlin. The revised meeting date may affect the timing of any decisions regarding the Ukraine conflict and could impact the diplomatic preparations for the discussion between the two leaders.
It is important to note that President Zelensky has not publicly commented on the revised meeting date. The Kremlin has also not confirmed their acceptance of the new date, adding an element of uncertainty to the upcoming talks.
As the world watches, the international community awaits further developments and clarification on the proposed meeting and its potential impact on the Ukraine conflict. The revised meeting date is set to be a significant event in the ongoing diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
