Trump-Putin meeting live updates: Leaders shake hands in Alaska as talks

[rto]

President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin landed in Anchorage, Alaska Friday for a high-stakes summit to discuss Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Their sit-down at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson was scheduled for 3 p.m. ET, according to the White House.

It is the first face-to-face meeting between Trump and Putin since 2019, and Putin’s first with a U.S. president since his forces invaded Ukraine in 2022. The Russian leader has spoken on the phone with Trump since his reelection, but they have not yet met in person during the president’s second term.

Trump has been trying for months to secure a deal to end the war, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was not invited to Friday’s summit, and expectations that a ceasefire agreement can be reached are low.

RTO I think Putin is not going to stop attacking just because he is talking with PT.? Zelensky does not want to give an inch and Putin may be asking to much for their to be peace. P.T. can at least talk with Putin one on one but talking with Zelensky my guess is like talking to a rock.
Now I don't want to see them killing each other over their and I have no idea what their fighting over? Both fighting sides have their story and as the saying goes somewhere in the middle is the truth. At least their is hope with PT and Putin talking maybe just maybe they can figure a way to stop the insanity.

Trump pursues peace deal after leaving Alaska without ceasefire pact "6 min. ago"

Trump had earlier said that "great progress" was made during the meeting but "we didn't get there" when it came to a deal.

[Sanders]

Zelensky launched a huge drone offensive just before the talks, just like he did last time Trump tried to broker a peace deal. Putin is in the catbird's seat. He is winning and Ukraine is running out of White men to die for the faggot clown piano player. They are press ganging 60 year old men off the streets to go die at the front. It's all over but the crying for Ukraine. The leadership doesn't want peace. They are going to flee the country, anyway, so they are trying to milk everything they can get from everyone - foreign and domestic. It's not a legitimate government - it's a crime spree.

According to the MSM/Pravdas, PDJT, is putins bitch. The orangeman is the Russian dictaters lapdog and butthole sniffer.

these "journalists" deserve to be punished.

[Sanders]

Those "journalists" live in a fantasy land. The only way there is going to be peace over there is if Trump brokers it, or it reaches its military conclusion. Putin respects Trump. He's the only other world leader he will sit down with for serious talks. There is NEVER a peace deal worked out at the first meeting. Never has been, except in the case of overwhelming military superiority of one the belligerents and the loser is suing for peace to just try to hold onto something.

Dumbocrats= Gibs me, I want, FREEE, open borders, socialism good use other peoples $$. ILLEGALS coming they work cheap just don't let them stay overnight in my precious neighborhood 'uh Martha's Vineyard'.

Trump;l is not stupid, you don't get to be a billionaire by being dumb and naive, MSM fails to recognize that. This was a meeting to get a feeling for and test Putin, Now he knows what to do, that's why he's got all the big shots in the White House today. Here is how it's going to go, Russia may get some land, Ukraine will be part of NATO and Article 5, meanwhile we will cut Russia's energy production off and make them come begging for help. Ukraine will get the land back then.

[GARANDNUT]

Let them kit up and put both of them on the front line and see how fast this war ends.

The MSM has no idea what Trump is doing or what has been discussed. So they make it up. Rubio has done a nice job of calling their bullshit out. I, however, recognize exactly what he is doing. He is conducting a mediation and he is the mediator. This is not some circle jerk "summit" where Euro fags dictate terms, this is a deal shuttle between two parties that both are in a tight spot and both have something to lose and are looking for a way out. That is why this is a perfect time to talk. Unlike what the blathering drones say, a mediation results in both sides being screwed. If we followed the direction of the globalists and warmongering neo-cons and dems Trump would require what is in essence a Russian surrender. That will not work. It may also be that they do not make a deal and can go on with the senseless orgy of death, but they will be back.

Trump has done a brilliant job of isolating the Russians and he holds the cards. The "experts" and talking heads have absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

The world would be better off if it were Muslims killing each other, but slavs will have to do. We just need to stop wasting money on the shit show

Bingo. He is mediating not negotiating and the deal with the other honchos is to get help putting pressure on Putin and chip in with the expenses. You cannot negotiate something that's not yours. Let's see what happens when he brings Vlad and the comedian face to face.
