Anchorage, Alaska –
A highly anticipated summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin on Friday yielded no agreement to resolve or pause Moscow’s war in Ukraine, despite both leaders describing the talks in Alaska as productive.
During a brief appearance before the media following the nearly three-hour talks, the two leaders said they had made progress on unspecified issues. But they offered no details and took no questions, with the normally loquacious Trump ignoring shouted questions from reporters.
“There were many, many points that we agreed on. I would say a couple of big ones that we haven’t quite got there, but we’ve made some headway,” Trump said, standing in front of a backdrop that read, “Pursuing Peace.”
