Trump has reportedly asked his aides to come up with 'deliverables' he can offer to Putin in their big meeting
Trump will be meeting with Russian president Vladimir Putin on Friday (July 7) at the G20 Summit in Hamburg, Germany. The meeting between the two leaders was initially going to be on the sidelines of this week's G20 summit, but on Tuesday the White House said the Trump-Putin meeting would instead be an official, bilateral sit-down. This no doubt means that Trump will go to Hamburg fully prepared to offer Putin concessions. Last week Trump ordered his staff to equip him with 'deliverables' (concessions) for the Putin meeting. No one outside the White House knows what sort of concessions Trump now has in his pocket. At a minimum, Trump could return the two Russian spy compounds in New York and Maryland that were ordered closed by Barack Obama as part of measures to punish Moscow for meddling in the 2016 election. Trump could do more extensive damage with concessions such as remove US sanctions on Russia and/or throw Ukraine under the Putin bus.
