At first, the meeting between Putin and Trump was heralded by Trump as being the solution to the Ukraine war. Over the past three weeks the expectations have been managed. Now, everyone hopes that Trump doesn't do anything stupid. Granted the likelihood of that happening is slim to none.
At first, Trump screwed up (again) and he said there would be "land swap". It was President Macron who told Trump publicly that any changes to the territorial integrity of Ukraine woud involve the President.
Trump wants a win, and it's looking increasingly unlike that he will get one. First, because Trump has nothing to offer, and Putin has no incentive to change the way he deals with Trump, he's been successfully playing the man as a fool for years.
At best, expect an outcome identical to Trump's meeting with the leader of North Korea. Big words no action, Lets be clear Trump is there to "negotiate" with Putin. Putin has no reason to negotiate with Trump, he wants all of Ukraine!
