President Trump is set to depart Washington just after the sun rises, headed west for his first meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in years and one that will set the tone for the future of peace talks in the Russia-Ukraine war.

The meeting at an Air Force base just outside Anchorage, Alaska, came together in just over a week. It will be Putin’s first trip to the U.S. in a decade.

The leaders are set to sit down for a one-on-one talk around 3:30 p.m. EDT, followed by a larger gathering and then a press conference. The Hill’s Brett Samuels is in the White House press pool, with a front-row seat to the events.

Trump on Thursday said he’ll know minutes into the summit whether it’ll be “a good meeting or a bad meeting,” suggesting that the latter would end talks between the two leaders “very quickly.”

Meanwhile, in D.C. on Thursday night, Attorney General Pam Bondi ordered Mayor Muriel Bowser to end the city’s policies that kept police from working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). She named Terry Cole, the Drug Enforcement Agency administrator, the district’s “emergency police commissioner,” giving him command over the police department.
