This week on Consider This, President Trump and Vladimir Putin one-on-one.
We're here at their summit in Alaska to spell out what the president says about those talks and what might actually happen next in Ukraine.
Also on the show this week, the U.S. is rewriting the rules on global trade.
What happens if other countries try that too?

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky is now headed to Washington,
D.C. to meet President Trump on Monday.
This comes after Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin finally met on a red carpet at an Air Force base in Alaska yesterday.
They visited for about three hours, did not take questions at their press conference,
and left with no obvious deal to end the war in Ukraine.
NPR's Greg Myris says the historic summit was underwhelming.
Putin spoke first after the meeting and he talked about the agreement we've reached.
So it sounded like there might be something substantive there, possibly a breakthrough.
But when Trump spoke just a few minutes later from his first words,
it became clear that there wasn't an agreement.
This morning, Zelensky writes on his social media that he's grateful to be invited to Washington,
D.C. to, quote, discuss all of the details regarding ending the killing and the war.
