“President Trump has spent the week setting the bar extremely low for his high-stakes U.S.-Russian summit on Friday in Alaska. Hardly anyone expects him to make much progress in halting the fighting between Russia and Ukraine, given how far apart their views of the conflict are,” the New York Times reports.
“But those two warring countries do seem to agree on at least one thing. Merely meeting with Mr. Trump is a big win for President Vladimir Putin, bringing the Russian leader out of a diplomatic deep freeze and giving him a chance to cajole the American president face to face.”
