| 0:34.9 | This is Good Morning America. |
| 0:39.7 | Okay, we've got a lot to get to this morning, |
| 0:45.2 | including two economic headlines from mortgage rates. They are lower, which means a price of a home could be cheaper, and a supermarket staple. We're going to break down exactly what it means for your wallet. |
| 0:50.3 | But we do have two major stories we're following this morning. President Trump leaving for that high-stakes summit with Vladimir Putin. We have team coverage in Alaska and Ukraine. |
| 0:59.2 | But first, we begin to tracking Aaron in the Atlantic, the storm, gaining strength and expect to |
| 1:04.7 | become a major hurricane this weekend. Of course, Ginger is joining us now with the latest on that. |
| 1:09.2 | Good morning, Ginger. Morning, Michael. Less than 600 miles now east of the U.S. Virgin Islands. We're watching Aaron get its life together. |
| 1:15.6 | So more organization. And that's why we have tropical storm watches up for St. Martin, |
| 1:20.0 | Barbuda, Anguilla, and a couple of the other islands. But this core of this storm as a hurricane |
| 1:24.6 | is going to pass north of Puerto Rico. That's by Sunday morning, as a cat three. Then it will go on up, and even a cat four by Monday morning, staying east of the Bahamas. Now let's talk about the impacts that you might see in the U.S. Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico. Through the weekend, you're going to see heavy bands of rain on the very outskirts here, but still that could produce two to four inches locally up to six. |
| 1:45.1 | So you can see some big gusty winds in there more than 40 miles per hour, even for the Dominican Republic as we go through Sunday night. But after it leaves there, it looks like that high pressure system that's been steering it, it weakens. And so as it goes east, it will open up this pathway with the cold front in place for it to squeeze between the two. |
| 2:02.5 | And that's why we still think think no matter how close it gets, the impacts will be bigger. So the outer banks, I'd prepare for erosion, but definitely the entire coast ready for rip currents and high surf. A lot of people have vacation plans next week along the beaches, and this could be very dangerous. Yeah, well, thank you for that. Jen, you appreciate the warning. All right, coming, we got the high-stakes summit in Alaska between President Trump and Vladimir Putin, the president hoping to make progress on a deal to end the war in Ukraine. ABC News will have special covers throughout the day. We have team coverage this morning, starting with Chief White House correspondent, Mary Bruce, in Anchorage, Alaska. Good morning, Mary. |
| 2:37.3 | Good morning, Michael. Well, this is the most high-stakes gamble of President Trump's second term so far. A meeting. He's been promising what happened since his very first day back in office. But now, even President Trump concedes that ending the war in Ukraine is proving to be much harder than he thought. |
| 2:52.5 | Moments ago, President Trump taking off for Alaska, where he'll come face to face with Russian President Vladimir Putin for their high-stakes summit to try and end the war in Ukraine. |
| 3:04.2 | He's confident he can convince Putin. |
