Donald Trump has received a formal invitation from Vladimir Putin to visit Russia, confirmed by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov after their Alaska summit. Putin personally extended the invite, calling the talks “frank” and “substantive,” while Trump admitted he could “get heat” for accepting. The summit focused on Ukraine and U.S.-Russia relations, followed by Trump’s separate meetings with Zelensky, NATO, and EU leaders. Trump now plans to mediate direct peace talks, including a possible trilateral summit with Putin and Zelensky.
