According to the official White House schedule, President Trump is slated to meet one-on-one with Russian President Vladimir Putin for an hour and a half beginning at 1:20pm local time (6:20am ET). Senior officials then will join the two men for a working lunch, followed by a press conference.

Mr. Trump said he had “very low expectations” for the Putin meeting in a CBS interview set to be aired Sunday evening, excerpts of which were aired earlier in the day. Several of his advisers likewise moved to damp expectations in television interviews Sunday.
When asked whom he considers to be the biggest threat to the U.S., Mr. Trump said, “The European Union is a foe, what they do to us in trade.” He then added that “Russia is a foe in certain respects,” as is China when it comes to economics.
Trump said he “might” ask Mr. Putin to extradite the Russian officials the special counsel charged on Friday. “I hadn’t thought of that,” Mr. Trump said. “But I certainly, I’ll be asking about it.”
Russian state TV is promoting the Trump-Putin meeting as the most important of the U.S. president's current trip, and Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says there is no official agenda.
"As for the specific agenda of the meeting, then, as the press secretary of the Russian president said, it does not exist. All during communication will be determined by the leaders themselves. At the same time, stressed Dmitry Peskov, the word "bargaining" is absolutely inappropriate." (translated from Russian)

The talks will include Syria, where the White House has signaled it will seek Russia’s help in scaling back Iran’s role, and Ukraine, where efforts to persuade Moscow to reverse its occupation of Crimea and intervention in eastern Ukraine have failed.
Arms control is also up for discussion. Mr. Trump said Friday that nuclear weapons are the “biggest problem in the world.” But the Helsinki summit hasn’t been preceded by the months of lower-level negotiating sessions that have preceded major breakthroughs on nuclear issues before.
The two leaders will discuss whether to extend the New START treaty, which expires in 2021, and U.S. allegations that Russia violated the 1987 treaty on intermediate-range nuclear forces, Mr. Trump indicated.

The policy details, however, will be overshadowed by the meeting itself, which is being held at the Presidential Palace, the same site where former President George H.W. Bush met with Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev in 1990 on the eve of the collapse of the Soviet Union.

“The fact that President Trump is willing to sit down with Putin and is likely to say positive things about him, is a great achievement for Vladimir Putin,” said Michael McFaul, who served as U.S. ambassador to Russia under Mr. Obama. “It means that the process of normalization is happening and [Putin] has had to do absolutely nothing to achieve that.”
