💨 Abstract
President Donald Trump initially pressed for a ceasefire in Ukraine during a summit with Vladimir Putin but ultimately supported a full peace accord aligns with Putin's position. This reversal highlighted challenges in dealing with Putin and the complexities of the Ukraine conflict. European leaders were relieved Trump didn't concede territory to Moscow, but Putin regained global influence. At home, Democrats criticized Trump's apparent deference to Putin. Key GOP lawmakers expressed cautious optimism but called for continued diplomacy and potential sanctions.
