💨 Abstract

A high-stakes summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday ended without a definitive deal on Ukraine, though both leaders expressed progress and cooperation. The summit was marked by warm words but not specific agreements, and both leaders avoided questions from reporters. Trump mentioned areas of agreement but no details, while Putin spoke of hope for peace in Ukraine. The friendly exchange contrasted with Trump's past criticism of Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky.
