Q&A: The Trump-Putin Alaska Preview


Listen Later

A potentially historic summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin is due to take place in Alaska tomorrow. So, what is really on the agenda? Could Ukraine accept any proposal which sees its territory used as a bargaining chip? And would the US demand robust security guarantees as part of a hypothetical deal?

To answer your questions on all that and more, Jamie is joined by Ukraine correspondent James Waterhouse, BBC Verify’s Olga Robinson, and Matthew Savill of the Royal United Services Institute. Plus, Vitaly sends us an update from the airport as he prepares to cover the talks on the ground.

Today’s episode is presented by Jamie Coomarasamy.

The producers were Laurie Kalus and Polly Hope. The technical producer was Phil Bull. The social producer was Sophie Millward. The series producer is Tim Walklate. The senior news editor is Sam Bonham.
