Trump Discusses Ukraine-Russia Territory Exchanges Before Putin Summit

President Donald Trump indicated that territorial exchanges between Ukraine and Russia may be part of future peace negotiations, making these comments days before his scheduled meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. During a Monday press conference, Trump stated there would be "land swapping" and changes to battle lines, suggesting some occupied Ukrainian territory could be returned while other areas might change hands. The president characterized these potential exchanges as containing both positive and negative elements for the parties involved.
