President Trump reiterated his threat to Russian President Vladimir Putin of “very severe” economic consequences if he stops the Ukraine peace process. He reinforced the warning to reporters aboard Air Force One while on his way to Alaska for a high-stakes meeting with Putin.

The summit in Alaska is the first between the United States and Russia since 2021, and it is anticipated to focus on ending Moscow’s war against Ukraine. Furthermore, Putin implied that Russia would be willing to conclude a nuclear armaments deal with the United States, though it is unclear whether it will be on the agenda for Friday.
