This market will resolve according to the location of the next meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. This market will resolve to "No meeting by December 31" if no qualifying meeting occurs during this market's timeframe. A meeting is defined as any encounter where Putin and Trump are all 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. For this market, Gulf states are defined as the six members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates). The primary resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting.
Recent stalled progress on Ukraine peace talks, following the unproductive August 2025 Anchorage summit and canceled Budapest plans, has left diplomatic momentum low heading into late 2026. July 2026 phone discussions between the leaders referenced potential future contacts around the NATO summit but produced no firm in-person commitments or venue announcements. Traders assign the highest probability to no meeting by year-end amid ongoing battlefield escalation and absence of scheduled bilateral or multilateral formats. China leads location odds as a plausible neutral third-party site that could facilitate broader involvement, while U.S. or Russian venues face logistical and political hurdles. Other listed locations remain marginal given procedural and security constraints typical in such high-stakes diplomacy.
