Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin had their first face-to-face meeting since 2019 as the pair arrived in Alaska to discuss the Ukrainian War on Friday (August 15).
Following on from the historical meeting, Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky has now announced he will meet with Trump at the White House to discuss the Summit. It comes as the 79-year-old sparked health fears when he greeted Putin to find a peace agreement for the Ukraine conflict. Meanwhile, hours into the summit, Trump had an awkward response to the Russian President's invitation to Moscow. Footage of the exchange became a sensation on X, formerly known as Twitter, with viewers believing Trump is "being played".
Following the revelation that certain understandings had been reached, though no formal agreement was established, Trump commented: "We had some good meetings over the years and we hope to have that in the future.

"But let's do the most productive one right now."
The 72-year-old Russian leader responded: "Again, Mr President, thank you very much.
"And we'll speak to you very soon and probably see you again very soon. Next time in Moscow."
Trump's expression immediately changed as he replied: "Oh, that's an interesting one. I'll get a little heat on that one."
Footage of the exchange was posted on X with the caption: "President Putin tells President Trump in English to come visit Moscow next.
"This is a HUGE sign of respect. Peace is coming!"
After racking up 347,000 views and hundreds of responses, the public had their say on the moment. One viewer remarked: "Putin is playing Trump like a pawnshop banjo. While he is inviting Trump to Moscow he's cluster bombing Ukrainian apartment complexes."
Another observed: "I think it's the first time I've heard him speak in English in front of the press." A third quipped: "Putin looks at Trump like someone in love."
While a fourth chimed in: "'Peace is coming'. You are joking? Or you mean between Russia and the US? That was not the point of this meeting. Or was it?
"Bromance rekindled and sanctions off the table. Putin plays Trump like the fiddle." And a fifth posted: "You're delusional."
The pair have been engaged in a series of discussions aimed at brokering a peace agreement to resolve the Ukrainian conflict.
They appeared like old mates as the pair sauntered down the red carpet towards Trump's waiting Presidential limousine.
Their conduct was well received in Russia, where pro-government media praised the 'warm' welcome.
