Trump reveals details of meeting with Putin

Donald Trump has said he will meet Vladimir Putin in the US state of Alaska next Friday.

"Further details to follow," the US president said in a post on his social media platform Truth Social.

Earlier, Trump said he would meet "very shortly" with his Russian counterpart to discuss ending the war in Ukraine.

He added: "It would have been sooner, but I guess there’s security arrangements that unfortunately people have to make. Otherwise I’d do it much quicker. He would, too. He'd like to meet as soon as possible. I agree with it."

It would be the first meeting between US and Russia since 2021, when former president Joe Biden met Putin in Geneva.
