US President Donald Trump said his primary goal at the upcoming Alaska summit is to bring Russian President Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table, not to strike a deal for Ukraine. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump stressed he wants to save lives and push towards ending the war, warning of “very severe” consequences if Moscow refuses to cooperate. He noted mutual respect with Putin and welcomed the presence of Russian business leaders, but ruled out deals until the conflict ends. The summit marks Putin’s first visit to Western soil since Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, which has claimed thousands of lives. (PC: News18)
