Trump Says Putin Talks Will Trade Land Concessions, Warns of Sanctions

Former U.S. President Donald Trump said his forthcoming face-to-face with Russian President Vladimir Putin will focus on a “give and take on boundaries and lands,” indicating that territorial issues remain central to their agenda. In a Fox News Radio interview, Trump added that the initial encounter is intended to pave the way for a second round of talks aimed at striking a broader deal. Trump also warned that sanctions would remain—or potentially be tightened—if the dispute is not resolved. He did not detail what concessions either side might consider, but noted that, at present, Ukraine holds no Russian territory, underscoring the contested nature of any prospective land agreement.
