STORYLINE:
US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin shook hands warmly Friday on the tarmac of the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson before their summit on the Russia-Ukraine war.
The Russian president hasn’t been to the United States since a 2015 meeting at the U.N. General Assembly in New York.
The International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant on war crimes accusations for Putin in 2023. But the U.S. isn’t a member of that global body, so officials are under no obligation to arrest him.
Friday’s summit could reshape both the war in Ukraine and relations between Moscow and Washington.
Trump aims to showcase his dealmaking skills, while Putin seeks to solidify Russia’s gains and block Ukraine’s NATO ambitions.
The summit carries significant risks for Ukraine, especially since Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders are not invited.
The leaders will have a one-on-one discussion, followed by a joint press conference. The outcome remains uncertain, with both sides far apart on peace terms.
