Trump says Alaska meeting aims to bring Russia and Ukraine to the negotiating table According to a report by Golden Finance, when asked if the Alaska meeting involves territorial issues, Trump said, "They will have discussions, but I must let Ukraine make a decision. I think they will make the right decision, and I am not here to negotiate for Ukraine." "I am here to have them sit at the negotiating table." "In my opinion, there are two outcomes. Listen, Vladimir Putin once wanted to occupy the entire Ukraine. If I were not the president, he would have taken over the entire Ukraine now, but he wouldn't do it now." (The Guardian)
