The highly anticipated Trump-Putin summit in Alaska concluded without a concrete agreement on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Despite both leaders discussing the situation, Trump left the meeting empty-handed, emphasizing that any potential deal would ultimately hinge on Ukrainian President Zelensky. While Trump described the talks as productive, he acknowledged that they "didn’t get there" regarding a ceasefire. Tensions were palpable, with protests in Anchorage expressing discontent towards Putin, as well as skepticism towards the negotiations. Reports indicated that while some progress was touted, the summit largely resulted in continuing stalemate on key issues.
