Up front next, Trump and Putin hours away from meeting, and there's new reporting tonight

on the president's plan heading into these historic talks.

Plus, 800 National Guard troops on the streets of D.C. tonight, as FBI agents pulled to patrol

now are speaking to CNN, raising alarm about their new role.

Let's go out front.

Good evening, everyone. I'm Kate Baldwin, in for Aaron Burnett.

Out front tonight, the breaking news.

We are just hours away from the Trump-Pooten summit.

The two leaders are both

right now preparing to fly to Alaska where they will meet one-on-one. This will be the first

in-person meeting of these two leaders in years. President Trump today said that he expects

this meeting with Putin will be productive. I believe now he's convinced that he's going to make a deal.

He's going to make a deal.

I think he's going to find out.

I'm going to know very quickly.

As for Putin, he's working the flattery angle

The current American administration, which as everyone knows, is making, in my opinion,

quite energetic and sincere efforts to stop the hostilities, stop the crisis, and reach

agreements that are of interest to all parties involved in this conflict.
