The White House confirmed that the U.S.-Russia summit on the 15th (local time) in Anchorage, Alaska, will be held as a bilateral meeting excluding Ukraine.
Karoline Leavitt, White House Spokesperson, noted in a briefing on the 12th that "one-on-one meetings between President Trump and President Putin are expected to take place" and stated, "President Trump hopes to have a trilateral meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine in the future." However, he did not mention whether President Trump would meet with President Zelensky before the meeting with President Putin.
Regarding the possibility of a visit to Russia, Leavitt Spokesperson stated, "There may be plans for a visit in the future," indicating it was not ruled out. He explained, "President Trump agreed to the meeting at President Putin's request" and "the goal is to gain a better understanding of how the war can be ended." He described this meeting as a "listening exercise" and said, "Since only Russia, a party to the war, will attend, the main purpose is for President Trump to hear their position directly and seek ways to end the war."
Meanwhile, Tammy Bruce, State Department Spokesperson, stated regarding whether the issue of "dispatching North Korean troops for Russia" will be discussed at this meeting, "The content of the dialogue can only be known by the two leaders, but I do know that the agenda is Ukraine."
Leavitt Spokesperson also mentioned regarding President Trump's recent measure requiring a 15% payment to the U.S. government on the condition of approving exports to China by NVIDIA and AMD that "a similar collection model may be expanded to other corporations in the future."
