One prediction market prices this story:

  • China — the market puts it at 86%, with $16 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2029. The market resolves to Yes if Trump and Putin meet in China before January 1, 2029. This meeting must be their first encounter after the scheduled August 15, 2025 summit in Alaska. Readers often mistake any recent diplomatic visit for the required event, but only this specific sequence of meetings counts.
