Ahead of Alaska summit/ Trump: I would like to see a Ukraine-Russia ceasefire

Ahead of Friday's summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, US President Donald Trump expressed optimism about the possibility of normal trade between the two countries and said he would know within the first two minutes of their meeting whether a deal could be reached.

Trump made these comments during a speech at the White House.

Trump also answered the question of whether he sees a time when there could be normal trade between the US and Russia.

"Yes. Russia has a very valuable piece of land. If Vladimir Putin would go into business instead of war, you know, it's a nation at war. That's what they do. They fight a lot of wars. A friend of mine said that Russia is strong because they just keep fighting," Trump said.

Trump further expressed optimism about Friday's meeting.

"I would like to see a ceasefire. I would like to see the best deal that can be made for both sides," Trump stressed.

Trump attributed the current state of Russia's economy to the ongoing conflict, noting that the imposition of a 50% tariff by the US on countries buying oil from Russia had a significant impact. /CNA
