UMBC Professor Says Trump-Putin Meeting Is 'Really Big Deal'

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin aim to negotiate a cease-fire in the Russia-Ukraine conflict during their Alaska summit, a move highlighted by French President Emmanuel Macron.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump said he will prioritize a ceasefire when he meets Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday.
  • Close proximity to Russia underscores Alaska's strategic role, with Little Diomede Island less than 3 miles from Russia's Big Diomede and Anchorage's oldest building a Russian Orthodox church.
  • The Ukrainian leader noted that despite over 30 consultations, `Putin is bluffing` and applying pressure on Ukrainian defenses ahead of the Alaska summit.
  • Putin is expected to demand that Ukraine cede territory for a ceasefire, with no signs Russia plans to end the war, ahead of the summit at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage.
  • Macron said Trump will pursue a trilateral meeting after Friday's summit, with territorial issues only negotiated by Zelenskyy.
