Trump: I'll walk if Putin meeting doesn't work out
President Donald Trump speaks to Fox News anchor Bret Baier on board Air Force One en route to Alaska to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!President Donald Trump offered a glimpse into his plans ahead of a historic summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Speaking exclusively Friday to Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier aboard Air Force One, Trump outlined what he’s expecting from the meeting, and what would happen if it doesn’t go his way.
"We’re going for a meeting with President Putin in Alaska," Trump said while en route to the summit.
"And I think it’s going to work out very well and if it doesn’t, I’m going to head back home real fast," the president said.
The talks come as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continues to claim lives daily in the third year of the conflict. The summit is being held in Anchorage, Alaska, chosen as a midpoint between Washington and Moscow.
This is the first high-level summit between the United States and Russia since the start of the Ukraine war. It’s also President Putin’s first time on U.S. soil in nearly a decade.

"I think we’re going to do very well," Trump told Baier, before shifting to tout the country’s economic strength.
