Putin: Is the Russian Bear back in the fold?

It's been 10 years since Putin came to the US to meet a president and tensions are running high. Trump seems confident he can get a deal, Moscow however is cautious to predict the outcome.

Whatever the conclusion, is Putin, back on US soil being welcomed back into the fold by Trump?

The Trump100 team are in Alaska preparing for one of Trump's most crucial summits yet. Plus they speak to Sky's Moscow correspondent Ivor Bennett to work out exactly how Putin must be thinking in the hours before the meet.
