Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are gearing up for tomorrow's highly anticipated talks in Alaska.
The US and Russian presidents will discuss ending the war in Ukraine, with suggestions a second meeting could follow if it goes well.
The Kremlin's already dangling financial incentives, saying there's untapped potential in US-Russian relations.
US Correspondent Toni Waterman told Ryan Bridge there are reports Trump is considering granting Russia access to Alaskan natural resources, as well as potentially allow them to access rare minerals in the territories it occupies in Ukraine, among other things.
She says in Trump’s mind, this would be an incentive for Putin to take negotiations seriously.
