I suspect Putin is playing around, Trump will most likely have to walk. Normally when heads of state meet, the plan is already done - this is a weird instance when apparently it isn't done.
Agree. Usually the details are worked out by underlings in advance and the meeting is largely ceremonial.
I think the meeting will be a bust. Trump is there to show the world that he’s being reasonable and Putin is the impediment.
Trump will give a solo press briefing saying that he hopes there’ll be more meetings after he consults with Ukraine and EU.
The sanctions will begin after discussions with Euros.
Hope I’m wrong and everything is wine and roses.
