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
Very productive for Putin’s propaganda trip
Sounds like the meeting was just long enough for Trump to receive his new orders.
They had to repeat them to him
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.
