3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Will Trump meet with Kim Jong Un in 2026? — the market puts it at 24%, with $2k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 2 Jan 2027. For the Yes outcome, Kim Jong Un must meet Donald Trump in person between January 1 and December 31, 2026. The market resolves to No if this specific encounter does not occur within that timeframe. Readers often mistake the resolution deadline or ignore the requirement for a direct, in-person interaction.
  • Will Trump meet with Xi Jinping in September 2026? — resolved “Yes” on 24 Sept 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Donald Trump meets with Narendra Modi in person between September 1 and September 30, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. A meeting requires both individuals to be present and interact face-to-face. Readers often mistake the linked story about India’s chipmaking bet for a relevant event, but only actual meetings between Trump and Modi count toward resolution.
  • Will Trump and Putin meet next in China? — the market puts it at 68%, with $15k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves based on where Trump and Putin next meet in person before December 31, 2026. A meeting requires direct interaction like a handshake or conversation; mere proximity does not count. Readers often mistake the linked story about Xi Jinping for the relevant event, but only meetings between Trump and Putin matter.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
