US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are holding a news conference after meeting for high-stakes talks in Alaska.
Russian Ambassador to the US Alexander Darchiev described the atmosphere around the Putin-Trump talks as generally positive, Russian state media reported.
It’s been seven years since Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared alongside an American president to take questions.
That was in Helsinki, during the now-notorious press conference where Trump sided with Russia over US intelligence agencies on the question of meddling in the 2016 US election.
When then-President Joe Biden met Putin in Geneva in 2021, he elected not to appear with him afterward for a press conference, opting to take questions alone. That was, in part, an effort to deny Putin a stage to spin their talks.
How do you think the market will react?
