Aug. 14 (UPI) -- U.S. President Donald Trump said his goal is to save Ukrainian and Russian lives during Friday's peace summit that will be held at a military base in Anchorage, Alaska.
The high-level meeting was announced last week, and it is hoped that it will lead to an end to the war in Ukraine.
"We're going to see what happens with our meeting," Trump said when a reporter asked if the United States might offer Russia access to rare-earth minerals as an incentive to end the war in Ukraine.
The meeting "is going to be very important for Russia and very important for us only in that we are going to save a lot of lives," Trump said during a Thursday afternoon press conference at the White House.
