Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston. The White House says it's trying to keep expectations low for a breakthrough during President Trump's talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday. NPR's Tamara Keith reports the summit in Alaska will be their first face-to-face meeting since 2019.

White House press secretary Caroline Levitt says Russia's President Putin was the one to extend an invitation for the meeting.

And while Trump initially expressed some hope that a peace deal could be possible, Levit said that

is unlikely, given that Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, won't be there.

This is a listening exercise for the president.

Look, only one party that's involved in this war is going to be present.

And so this is for the president to go and to get a more firm and better understanding of how we can hopefully bring this war to an end.

Leavitt said there would be a one-on-one

component of the Trump-Pooten summit. Tamara Keith, NPR News, the White House. The Department of Justice

In a letter to George Washington University, the DOJ says Jewish students were intimidated and fearful during the pro-Palestinian encampment on campus. In a letter to George Washington University, the DOJ says Jewish students were intimidated

and fearful during the pro-Palestinian encampment on campus last spring, and that the school

took, quote, no meaningful action, unquote, to combat anti-Semitism, resulting in harm to Jewish

students and faculty. A GW spokesperson said the school condemns anti-Semitism and has taken action to hold individuals and organizations accountable.

Last month, the DOJ notified the University of California, Los Angeles, that it too had broken federal civil rights law due to anti-Semitism on campus.

After that finding, the Trump administration froze $500 million in federal funding to the public university.
