Historic Alaska Summit: Trump and Putin Pursue Peace Amid Conflict

In Alaska, Trump and Putin's high-stakes summit could determine a ceasefire in Europe's deadliest war since WWII. While Trump seeks peace, Ukrainians fear a compromise over territory. Both leaders discuss future negotiations and the broader implications for Russia and Ukraine's involvement with NATO.

In a high-stakes summit at a U.S. Air Force base in Alaska, U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met to discuss the possibility of a ceasefire in Europe's deadliest conflict since World War II.

Despite the warm greeting on the tarmac, concerns lingered over Trump potentially compromising on Ukrainian sovereignty. Ahead of the talks, Trump emphasized his focus on initiating discussions rather than negotiating terms.

As Trump engages with Putin, the outcome carries significant implications, including potential territorial concessions and further negotiations that could impact NATO and Russia's geopolitical stance.
