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 Kremlin statements highlight the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in China this November as the most plausible venue for a Trump-Putin encounter on the sidelines, if both leaders attend, elevating that location's implied probability. Separate state visits by each president to Beijing earlier in 2026 and prior bilateral contacts, including the 2025 Alaska summit, underscore China's emerging role as a diplomatic hub without confirming a dedicated 2026 bilateral. Persistent uncertainty over attendance, formal scheduling, and the impact of Ukraine-related diplomacy keeps the chance of no meeting by December 31 nearly as likely, leaving alternative sites with negligible support due to absent signals. Upcoming APEC preparations and any further high-level calls could shift positioning before year-end.
