Trump to meet with Putin

Before his election president Trump said the number one goal of his presidency would be to negotiate a Middle East peace agreement. After Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, Palestinian Leader Mahmoud Abbas accused the US of bias toward Israel and said America could no longer be the sole arbiter in future peace negotiations. Russian president Putin quickly volunteered to participate in future peace efforts. Trump and Putin will meet in Helsinki, Finland on July 16th. Will they agree to co-host future peace negotiations, and could it be the peace breakthrough Trump has been looking for?
