Traders assign the highest probability to no Trump-Putin meeting by year-end due to the stalled follow-up to their August 2025 Alaska summit, where personal diplomacy failed to produce a Ukraine ceasefire and fighting has since intensified. Recent July 2026 calls between the leaders referenced continued contacts without scheduling an in-person summit, while U.S. envoys pursue indirect talks amid broader foreign policy priorities. China leads location odds as a neutral venue potentially acceptable for bilateral or multilateral diplomacy, reflecting its role in related economic and security discussions. Other sites like the United States or Russia remain low-probability given logistical, security, and political constraints on hosting. Upcoming diplomatic calendars and any breakthrough in Ukraine negotiations could still shift these implied probabilities before December 31.
