3 prediction markets price this story:

• Russia — the market puts it at 7%, with $500 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if Donald Trump physically travels to and stays inside Russia between now and January 1, 2027. The outcome is No if he does not meet this condition within that timeframe. Readers often mistake the linked news about EU sanctions for the resolution criteria, but only Trump's physical presence in Russia matters.
• During Trump's term — the market puts it at 19%, with $37 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 20 Jan 2029. The market resolves to Yes if the United States government takes control of any part of the Panama Canal before January 20, 2029. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the linked story about tariffs for the relevant event, but only actual control of the canal counts.
• No one — the market puts it at 8%, closing 1 Mar 2028. The market resolves to Yes if Donald Trump publicly endorses no candidate for the 2028 presidential election before March 1, 2028. It resolves to No if he does not meet this condition by that date. Readers often mistake the deadline as the only factor, ignoring that the endorsement must be public and specifically refer to the 2028 race.
