Will Trump strike a 'land swap' deal with Putin?

15 min • 12 augusti 2025

Donald Trump wants to win a Nobel Peace Prize and so he’s desperate to end the war in Ukraine.

He’ll be in Alaska later this week meeting the Russian president in the first face-to-face encounter the two men have had since Trump returned to the White House.

The problem is the Ukrainian leader won’t be there and Trump’s talking about some ‘land-swapping’ between the Russian invaders and Ukraine.

Today, international relations expert Rajan Menon on Trump’s theatrics and what the summit will really achieve.
