Putin will bring old guard loyalists and younger financial power-brokers to meet Trump’s most trusted advisers
Putin praises ‘sincere efforts’ by US to end Ukraine war – Europe live
When Vladimir Putin lands in Alaska on Friday for his high-stakes meeting with Donald Trump, he will be flanked by some of the most powerful figures in the Kremlin’s inner circle – a team of seasoned political operators, financial strategists and diplomatic enforcers who have helped shape Russia’s foreign and economic policy for more than two decades.
The delegation, a mix of old guard loyalists and younger financial power-brokers, hints at Putin’s desire to woo Trump and dangle financial incentives for siding with Moscow on Ukraine.
Trump will also be accompanied by a cadre of his most trusted advisers, among them a property mogul, a former Fox News host and the country’s top diplomat.
