The Russia-US summit is expected to begin at 07:00 PM GMT on Friday at Alaska’s Elmendorf-Richardson military base.
Experts and former officials from various countries around the world share their expectations with Sputnik regarding the Putin-Trump 'high stakes' summit in Alaska.
Michele Geraci, former Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Italy:
The discussion won’t be about whether Ukraine can join NATO, but rather that NATO should leave Ukraine. Additionally, there is the issue of trust: it remains to be seen whether the promises Trump might make to Putin regarding the denazification of Ukraine will be honoured.
Yosmani Fernández, Professor at the Institute of International Relations in Cuba:
The meeting between the two leaders will mark a significant shift in the policies developed during Biden’s presidency and could pave the way for diplomatic and economic rapprochement between the two countries.
Gyorgy Varga, former head of the OSCE observer mission in Russia and member of the Public Council of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences:
I believe that both President Trump and President Putin are invested in the success of this meeting. Therefore, we can expect concrete outcomes.
