Recent Kremlin statements on August 23, 2026, indicate that Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump are likely to meet on the sidelines of the November APEC summit in Shenzhen, China, if both attend, though no formal arrangements exist yet. This follows their August 2025 Alaska encounter on Ukraine diplomacy, which produced no agreement, and subsequent stalled talks over territorial issues and security guarantees. US participation at APEC remains unconfirmed, while broader constraints from the Ukraine conflict and lack of new bilateral signals support trader pricing that assigns the highest probability to no meeting by year-end. Scheduled events like the APEC gathering represent the main near-term catalyst that could shift odds.
