Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin
US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will sit face to face in Alaska on Friday, August 15. This will be the first time that both leaders will meet on American land. The aim of this historical meeting is to try to end the Ukraine war that has been going on for three and a half years. But will this war really end? At the moment it is difficult to answer this.
Trump has already warned Putin that if Putin does not agree on the ceasefire, he will have to face serious consequences. But it will not be easy to convince Putin. He is considered a very experienced and clever politician, who will be a mistake to take lightly. Experts say that Putin will try his best to beat his less experienced American counterpart in this meeting. So let’s know, Trump is preparing to offer what offers to Putin.
What offers can Trump give to Putin?
First: According to the Telegraph, Donald Trump may propose Putin to give natural resources of minerals and Alaska in lieu of peace. The proposal includes Putin access to the rare minerals present in those areas of Ukraine, which are currently in Russia’s possession.
It is believed that Ukraine is about 10 percent of the world’s lithium reserves, which is used in making batteries. Its two largest lithium reserves are in areas that are under Russia’s control. Putin has also claimed his claim on valuable minerals found in these areas.
Second: According to Times magazine, Trump is ready to let the areas remain near Russia, which Russia has already captured Ukraine. But they will not be officially recognized. This includes the complete control of Russia over four Ukrainian regions, staying neutral forever and imposing restrictions on its army. It is also reported that before the Alaska meeting was decided, Russia offered a peace to Trump’s special envoy Steve Witchoff. It was said that if Ukraine leaves Donbas area, Russia will stop the war. But Ukraine clearly turned down the proposal.
third: Trump is preparing to assure Putin that he can remove economic and business sanctions that European countries imposed after the attack on Ukraine on Russia. According to a report by The Telegraph, the US can also consider the removal of restrictions imposed on Russia’s aviation sector (air traffic and aviation industry), especially Russia. Trump had earlier given a 50 -day deadline to Putin, so that he agrees on the ceasefire.
