The officials stressed that the exact details and schedule of the meeting are still being finalised.

A third senior official said that as of 14 August, Trump was not expected to call Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy or European leaders before the meeting on 15 August. However, it is unclear whether this could change during his long 7-hour flight from Washington to Anchorage.
