Odaily Planet Daily reported that US President Trump stated at a White House press conference on the 11th that his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on the 15th would be an "exploratory meeting" with "a better or worse outcome," but he believed the two sides would engage in "constructive dialogue." Trump said he would know the outcome within two minutes of the meeting because he was a "dealer." Trump said that after the Alaska meeting between the US and Russian leaders, he hoped to "eventually" arrange a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Putin, and if necessary, a trilateral meeting between the US, Russia, and Ukraine could be held. Trump also said that US-Russia trade could increase after the Russia-Ukraine agreement was reached. (Jinshi)
