Trump Says Russia-Ukraine Deal Will Involve 'Swapping Of Territories'

HUNGARY, AUG 8 – Trump plans a meeting with Putin to discuss ending the Ukraine conflict, with talks including possible territory exchanges and sanctions threats, amid ongoing military clashes, officials said.

  • Recent reports show U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin may meet in Hungary after negotiations on a summit.
  • Amid efforts to end the war, Trump has moved to mend relations with Russia since January and threatened new sanctions from Friday if Putin doesn't halt the offensive.
  • Limiting venues, ICC constraints restrict meeting options to over 120 member countries, leaving about 70 still technically available, as the U.S. seeks allies' approval.
  • The summit timeline indicates Trump may meet Putin very shortly, with the location announced later on Friday, and Trump expressed willingness to meet without Zelenskyy present.
  • In historical context, it would be the first U.S.-Russia summit since 2021 when former President Joe Biden met Putin, and Ukraine has signaled flexibility in ending the war.
