(AFP) - US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold talks on Monday at their first summit, a possible political minefield for Trump, while a geopolitical victory for his Russian counterpart.
Neither side expects the talks in the Finnish capital to yield major breakthroughs except for good words, an agreement on reform of deteriorating US-Russian relations and perhaps an agreement on starting talks on issues such as nuclear weapons and Syria.
The two leaders, who have praised each other's potential for leadership, may also agree to start increasing the number of workers in their country's embassies and the return of confiscated diplomatic property after a wave of expulsion and punitive moves following the poisoning of a former Russian spy in Britain.
Before the summit, the two sides played down the value of the event as Trump told CBS that he would enter the summit "with low expectations" while John Bolton, national security adviser to Trump, told ABC that the United States was not looking to achieve "achievements". Be organized.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told IRIN television.
He said he would consider the summit a success if only an agreement had been reached to reform the lines of communication between the two sides.
For Putin, the fact that the summit was held, despite Russia's near-estrangement from some Americans and Washington's allies, is a geopolitical victory because it shows, for Russians, that Washington recognizes Moscow as a superpower whose interests should be taken into account.
For Russia, it is also a national indicator that Western efforts to isolate it have failed.
But for Tramp, who has recently been accused of winning the White House with the support of 12 Russian military intelligence agents, whose members are still under investigation for possible complicity with Moscow, the summit is fraught with political risks.
"We can say with confidence that the political risks to Putin are far less than those of President Trump," said Andrei Kortenov, director of the Moscow-based REAC Research Institute, close to the State Department.
"Putin has little to lose and has much to gain because he has no opposition at home, no parliament that may be hostile, and he is not under investigation like Trump, but if you look at the US media, they focus mainly on potential risks. This summit will end well. "
Trump's presidency has been overshadowed by an investigation into allegations of Russia's intervention in the 2016 presidential election. Trump has denied any collusion with the Russians in his campaign, and Moscow has denied it intervened.
The Helsinki summit is the culmination of a nearly week-long tour of Trump that has sown doubts about its commitment to NATO, what Washington calls the special relationship with Britain, and US relations with the EU, which Trump has described as a "trade foe."
Against this background, and with uncertainty as to what Trump might do next, Putin's summit with Putin, which will include a meeting with the Russian president, is attended only by translators. Washington's allies and politicians worry that Trump will make big, hasty concessions.
Some politicians in the West believe the summit will take place at one of the most important crossroads of the West since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, and some NATO allies fear that Putin may seek to conclude a major agreement undermines the transatlantic partnership.
Trump said he would provoke the alleged Russian intervention in the election with Putin, but he did not expect anything to come, and he spoke vaguely about the possibility of stopping the NATO war games in the Baltic region. He has repeatedly said that reconciliation with Russia is good.
Asked last month whether he would recognize Russia joining the Crimea in 2014, Trump replied, "We will see."
