The two leaders are meeting at a U.S. military base in Alaska. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will not be in attendance. Zelenskyy spoke with Trump twice this week and has rejected the idea of territorial concessions to end the war. Trump said Aug. 14 that the "more important meeting" will be one that includes both Zelenskyy and Putin. That will come next, he said. 'We're going to see what happens," Trump said Aug. 14. "And I think President Putin will make peace. I think President Zelensky will make peace. We'll see if they can get along, and if they can, it'll be great."

Florida Gov. DeSantis hails Lt. Gov. Jay Collins' story, but says politics can wait
Newly-appointed Lt. Gov. Jay Collins isn't jumping into the race to succeed term-limited Gov. Ron DeSantis. At least not yet. DeSantis on Aug. 13 praised Collins for his military background and record as a state senator, touting him as a potential good candidate, but noted the primary for the governor's race is another year away. 'Jay has been clear: This has been about doing a mission. Politics will take care of itself,' DeSantis said at an event in Tampa. Collins, 47, was elected to the Florida Senate for a district covering part of Hillsborough County in 2022 after being recruited to run by DeSantis. A Green Beret with tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, Collins was lauded by DeSantis for standing with him during his push for illegal immigration enforcement laws earlier in the year. DeSantis praises Collins: 'Blown away by his story' Beyond being able to do the job of governor, though, DeSantis said Collins would be a good candidate on the campaign trail. 'A lot of the people that didn't know much about him were really blown away by his story,' DeSantis said of his Aug. 12 announcement naming Collins as lieutenant governor. 'He definitely has the ingredients to be a compelling candidate that would grab attention.' DeSantis' comments come against the backdrop of a nascent campaign season that could resurrect the feud between him and President Donald Trump. U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Naples, has already started his campaign for governor and has received Trump's endorsement. DeSantis has notably not endorsed Donalds, who backed Trump in 2024 when DeSantis challenged him for the GOP nomination for President. But DeSantis also downplayed speculation that his wife, First Lady Casey DeSantis, would run to succeed him: 'That's not anything she has ever outwardly sought. She's really happy making a difference.' On the Democratic side in the governor's race, the only major candidate who has filed to run is former U.S. Rep. David Jolly, a Republican who left the GOP and became a Democrat in April. Democratic former U.S. Rep. Al Lawson Jr. of Tallahassee has said he's considering a run as well. More: Former US Rep.
