The White House is lowering expectations for any breakthrough from President Trump’s summit Friday with Russian President Vladimir Putin, using terms like “listening session” and “feel-out meeting” to describe the planned discussion about the war in Ukraine.

American officials quickly discovered a major snag in planning for the summit: summertime is peak tourist season in Alaska, and options both available and equipped to host the two world leaders were severely limited.

Trump and Putin convene in Alaska to discuss what's next in the Ukraine war. Trump has pushed the countries toward a peace deal in recent months.
