British media: The White House downplays expectations for the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska.

According to the Financial Times on August 13, Jin10 data reports that the Trump administration has recently lowered expectations for a peace protocol to be reached at the U.S.-Russia presidential summit on Friday, emphasizing that any agreement must involve Ukraine. White House Press Secretary Levitt stated that the meeting between Trump and Putin will be a "listening exercise," and Washington cannot predict specific outcomes. "The goal of the meeting is to communicate and better understand how to end this conflict," Levitt said. "This bilateral meeting is just a meeting of one side of the conflict, and any agreement requires mutual consent from both parties involved." She confirmed that Trump will travel to Anchorage, Alaska's largest city, for a "one-on-one" meeting with Putin, but did not disclose further details. As the White House makes this statement, Ukraine and European countries are generally concerned that Trump may accept unfavorable agreement terms proposed by Russia regarding Kyiv.
