If there’s anything President Donald Trump has made clear about his role in trying to end the Russia-Ukraine war, it’s this: He wants to win the Nobel Peace Prize. “I’ve solved six wars,” he said Thursday. That’s highly debatable, but the Azerbaijan-Armenia peace deal signed last week at the White House certainly helps his case.

Today, President Trump will take on the biggest land war in Europe since World War II when he sits down in Anchorage, Alaska, with Russian President Vladimir Putin. We have two stories on this high-stakes summit by veteran Russia-watchers – Moscow correspondent Fred Weir and former Moscow bureau chief Ned Temko. Fred speaks with Russian analysts about the wider implications for U.S.-Russia relations. Ned highlights Mr. Trump’s habit of “winging it” – but if his unorthodox style can bring progress, watch the lobbying for a Nobel only grow louder.
