President Donald Trump said the focus of his meeting with President Vladimir Putin will be on settling the Ukraine war over business deals with Russia, but administration officials privately say there is a need to entertain carrots for Putin in order to get the wheels churning on peace for Ukraine, two US officials said.\n    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\"

Carrots for the Russian side could include discussions about new business deals with Russia or a possible strategic arms deal between the two countries \u2014 both of with Russian officials have spoken to in recent days.\n    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\" data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmed67b90000c3b6x1k381ued@published\"

details of any potential nuclear deal are unlikely to be discussed at such a high level, the official added.\n    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\"
