Where will Trump and Putin meet next in 2026?

Where will Trump and Putin meet next in 2026? is a geopolitics prediction market asking traders to forecast the location of the next in-person meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin before December 31, 2026. The market resolves based on credible reporting and counts only direct personal interaction, such as a handshake, conversation, or other clear encounter; simply appearing in the same venue does not qualify. If no qualifying meeting occurs by the deadline, the outcome is "No meeting by December 31." The forecast matters because any Trump-Putin meeting would carry major implications for U.S.-Russia relations, the war in Ukraine, and broader global diplomacy. The market also distinguishes possible locations, including Gulf states as defined by the six Gulf Cooperation Council members: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Current market probability is about 75%, suggesting traders see a meaningful chance of a qualifying meeting within the timeframe. As an event prediction in the geopolitics and politics category, it reflects market sentiment on whether and where the two leaders will next meet in person.
