U.S. and Russian officials are organising a summit between President Donald Trump and President Vladimir Putin for the end of next week, according to multiple government sources cited by U.S. and Russian media outlets. Kremlin foreign-policy adviser Yuri Ushakov said both sides had agreed "in principle" and were now working on logistics, but the exact date, format and location have not been finalised. The encounter would be the leaders’ first in-person meeting since their June 2019 talks in Helsinki and the first since Trump returned to the White House. It follows a ten-day deadline set by Washington for Moscow to halt its offensive in Ukraine, and comes as the White House weighs further trade measures against Russia’s partners. Diplomatic officials have mentioned Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Turkey as possible hosts, but no decision has been announced.
