US President Donald Trump said he and Russian President Vladimir Putin made “great progress” but did not emerge from today’s summit in Alaska with an agreement on the war in Ukraine.
After three hours of talks, President Trump and President Vladimir Putin of Russia told reporters that they had made progress on unspecified issues, but they gave no details, took no questions, and most importantly failed to announce a cease-fire of any kind.
The meeting broke up several hours before scheduled, and far short of the six or seven hours of discussions that Mr. Putin’s aides said they expected for the talks. The fact that they took no questions made it clear they did not want to be pressed on details.
From the NY Times:
Sounds really productive
Doesn’t take a whole lot of time for Putin to coach him on what to do and say. If he falls out of line, the kompromat flows.
I don’t even think it’s blackmail. Like, maybe there is some, but the idiot is such a simp for dictators. He’d do all this with or without it.
Trump has daddy issues.
Trump’s a bottom in denial. Putin hurts him and he loves Putin for it.
Trump has money issues and Russia bailed him out in the late 90s/early 00s.
He had money issues. Then he ran for president again and got in bed with the crypto industry.
All it takes is some good legislation and cryptocurrencies will be rendered worthless.
Sounds like the meeting was just long enough for Trump to receive his new orders.
They had to repeat them to him
Very productive for Putin’s propaganda trip
