16:27Now PlayingJames O’Brien breaks down why, before the Alaska summit even begins, Russian President Vladimir Putin may have already won.
The US and Russian presidents will hold their summit on the 80th anniversary of VJ Day, which Sir Keir Starmer has said is symbolic with Ukraine fighting for the same value that the Allies did in the Second World War.
Mr Trump has claimed that a deal could be struck following his initial meeting with Mr Putin at a follow-up trilateral summit involving Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.
“This meeting sets up the second meeting. The second meeting is going to be very, very important, because that’s going to be a meeting where they make a deal,” Mr Trump told Fox News Radio.
He added that his Russian counterpart "is not going to mess around with me" and said that he has a "strong hand", but did say there is a 25 per cent chance it will not end well.
