The first stage of the summit will feature a closed-door meeting between the two leaders, followed by an expanded working lunch attended by senior members of both delegations.
According to the White House, Trump is accompanied by a 16-member team that includes the Secretaries of State, Treasury, and Commerce, as well as the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters that the talks are expected to last “no less than six to seven hours,” underscoring the breadth and complexity of the issues on the table.
