This market will resolve to "Yes" if Donald Trump meets with Vladimir Putin between market creation and the listed date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". A meeting is defined as any encounter where both Trump and Putin are present and interact with each other in person. An exchange of words, handshake, direct conversation, or other clear personal interaction between the named individuals will qualify as a meeting. Merely standing in proximity, making eye contact, or being present in the same room or event without direct interaction will not qualify. The resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.
Trump and Putin last met in person at a U.S.-hosted summit in Anchorage on August 15, 2025, focused on Ukraine peace efforts that produced no agreement and have since stalled amid continued Russian advances. Recent phone contacts, including a July 2026 call where both sides agreed to further discussions, have not led to scheduled in-person talks. European governments have signaled wariness of being sidelined in any U.S.-Russia diplomacy, while no bilateral summit or third-country venue has been confirmed for the remainder of 2026. Trader pricing on a year-end meeting reflects these limited diplomatic catalysts and the absence of near-term triggers such as a confirmed date or venue.
