The Yes outcome occurs if Trump and Putin have an in-person interaction during their next meeting before December 31, 2026. The No outcome applies if they do not meet by that deadline or if their next meeting takes place anywhere other than Belarus.

For the Yes outcome, Donald Trump and Aleksandr Lukashenko must meet in person between January 1 and December 31, 2026. For the No outcome, they do not have such a meeting within that timeframe.
