Ahead of his Alaska summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump reversed earlier remarks suggesting he might negotiate a “territorial swap” in Ukraine. Trump now says such decisions rest solely with Kyiv and that his role is to encourage talks, not impose a peace deal. He warned Putin that prolonging the war hurts Russia’s position, citing its weak economy. The meeting will open with a one-on-one at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, but no agreements are expected, according to Kremlin officials.
