One prediction market prices this story:

  • Germany — the market puts it at 5%, closing 1 Jan 2029. The market resolves to Yes if Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin meet in Germany before January 1, 2029, following their scheduled August 15, 2025 meeting in Alaska. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the date of the Alaska meeting for the deadline, but the actual cutoff is January 1, 2029.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
