President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin left the world after guessing on Friday Historical summit No details were found about what was discussed, what agreed and the remaining glued points to end the war with Ukraine.
The two leaders followed the closed doors for about three hours Joint base elimndorf-richardson In the ank as, Alaska. However, what he talked about has a secret to a large extent as two leaders, who are standing side-by-side at a joint news conference, he said that very little came to know about “progress”. He did not take any question from the press.
There are five takeaets from the summit here.
There is no deal on ceasefire but ‘progress’ was made
In the press conference, Trump only teases the fact that the two leaders had a “productive meeting” and he said Some things agreedBut not others – without offering any details of what was discussed.
“I believe we had a very productive meeting. There were many, many points on which we agreed. Most of them, I would tell some big people that we are not enough there, but we have made some headways. So there is no deal until there is a deal,” Trump said that he would call European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodimer Zalenskey.
“It is eventually above them,” Trump said,
Putin insisted for his share that his nation needed to abolish the “primary roots” of the struggle, which without telling them in detail about those. He admitted that some “agreements” were made, but he did not even provide any details.
Putin said, “I would like to hope that the agreement in which we have reached together will help us to bring that goal closer and pave the way for peace in Ukraine.” “We hope that Kiev and European capitals will see that creatively, and that they will not throw a wrench in the tasks. They will not try to use some backcroum dealing to instigate newborn progress to torpedo.”
There was no mention of several high-dawn components on the table, including removing any other restrictions on Russia, guarantees safety to Ukraine as part of an atomic weapon deal and a peace agreement.
Trump also teased the notion of having a second meeting that included Zelanski if the Alaska summit proved successful. So far, there is no plan to meet any leader.
Trump Putin gives red-imprison treatment
Trump rolled red carpet for Putin’s arrival in America – literally rolled – literally
Air Force One first reached the base, Putin’s President arrived with the aircraft about half an hour later. The two leaders emerged at the same time, walking on a red carpet and warmly congratulated each other.
Trump appreciated, while the Russian President went to meet him, shaking hands and taps of friendly hands, while both exchanged happiness before giving poses for photos. Putin later said in a press conference that he congratulated Trump as “auspicious afternoon, dear neighbor”.
In a notable step, Putin stepped into Trump’s armored President Limosine, known as The Beast, and rode with Trump and reached the site of the summit on the base. Putin was seen laughing with Trump on the back seat as the motorcycle had gone away from the Turmac.
As a synergy between the two, they greeted each other, sometimes unlike harsh words, Trump stood for his Russian counterpart as he struggles to reach a ceasefire deal to end the war with Ukraine.
The meeting gave Putin a similar playground with Trump.
Putin later spoke for the first time in his joint appearance with Trump, giving him a long speech to set tones and to give a long speech about the importance of Russian history and maintaining relations with the United States.
Many remain a mystery
Despite the progress on both sides, neither Trump nor Putin indicated how Russia and Ukraine had gone close to a peace deal.
And the press conference is over, before the journalists could try to fill the spaces: Will Trump proceed with restrictions for pressure on Putin? Is there a plan for the second meeting to incorporate Zelansky, as Trump expected? Did he discuss regional concessions or other shapes of the peace deal?
Maria Popova, an associate professor of political science at McGill University, said ambiguity gave up two possibilities.
“The first a trump actually feels that it is a no-go, that there is no progress,” he can return to the drawing board with Zelanceci and European leaders.
The more pessimistic possibility for Ukraine is that Trump tried to force Zelancesi to accept whatever conditions underlined.
“And when Zelanski and Europe don’t want to deal, he will blame them for obstructing peace, and he will be angry, and he would say that Zelancesi is irrational and about losing his country.”
Talking with Fox News Host Scene Hannie after the summit, Trump suggested that Zelansky would need to give concessions to finalize a deal.
“I mean, a lot of points were agreed, but there is not so much as one or two very important objects, but I think they can reach,” he said. “Now it really depends on President Zelanceci to complete it. And I would also say that European countries will have to include them a little bit, but it is dependent on President Zelancesi.”
Carefully choreographed around ‘Shanti’
Friday’s meeting was carefully choreographed to enhance Trump’s image as a peacemaker. Both the background of the meeting and the press conference were combined with the words “chasing peace”.
The White House postponed the support of the Nobel Peace Prize from various world leaders this week, including the state heads from Israel, Cambodia, Pakistan, Armenia and Azerbaijan – all of them were involved in conflicts that Trump helped to end.
However, Trump has been unable to stop war in Ukraine or two other major wars of the world: Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza, where the collective starvation is holding, or a cruel civil war in Sudan.
Former state secretary Hillary Clinton said on Friday that he would nominate Trump for the Nobel Prize if he managed to manage the broker in Ukraine without giving the Russia Ukrainian region.
Trump insisted that the meeting was well despite not showing anything for this.
Christina Hook, assistant professor of conflict management at Kensa State University, said Trump’s approach to Putin does not work.
“Trump’s ‘progress’ is aimed at creating pace, but remains a fundamental obstacle: Putin refused to recognize Ukraine’s sovereignty or his people’s democratic rights to choose his future. As long as the change, diplomacy is a large a theater,” he said.
“As long as the US took Putin to remove its maximalist objectives and to respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and regional integrity, the Russia would choose to grind the war.”
Trump Zelansky, to call world leaders
Trump said that he planned to call Zelansky and NATO colleagues after the meeting, saying that he too was expected to talk to Putin soon.
Robert Mut, Deputy Director of Syrackuse University Institute for Security Policy and Law, said he was “very encouraged” by Trump’s commitment to keep colleagues in Trump’s loop. And he said that the result will not come as a surprise in Europe.
He said, “They had no expectations for dramatic steps, a struggle fire, anything of anything, you know, in half the way for a peace agreement,” he said. “I think this is the kind of result that most of them expected.”
There was no immediate response to Zelanski or European leaders on Friday night after the summit.
Trump and Putin briefly discussed their next meeting at the end of their joint press conference.
“Next time in Moscow,” Putin said in English, Chakli.
“Oh, it’s an interesting,” said Trump. “I will get some heat on it, but I, uh, I could possibly see it.”
