Donald Trump has countered what he termed 'fake news' regarding his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. In a social media post, Trump stated, "the fake news has been saying for three days that I suffered a major defeat by allowing Russian president Vladimir Putin to have a major summit in the United States.

President Donald Trump has failed to secure an agreement from Vladimir Putin to end Russia’s war in Ukraine, falling short in his most significant move yet to stop the bloodshed, even after rolling out the red carpet for the man who started it.

Lawmakers retreated to their partisan corners in response to the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska, with Republicans praising the president and Democrats arguing he was too cozy with Putin.

President Donald Trump said on Friday that the United States and Russia “didn’t get there” on a deal regarding the war in Ukraine, even as he called his three-hour meeting in Alaska with Russian President Vladimir Putin “extremely productive.

The Alaska summit between the U.S. and Russian leaders showcased their mutual animosity for the former president.

With Alaska in the rear-view mirror, Donald Trump is walking into a very different situation as he returns to work at the White House this week. His summit with Vladimir Putin is over, though the fallout continues.

In a summit meeting marked by red carpets, handshakes and military flyovers, President Vladimir Putin made his first trip to the United States in a decade and was greeted warmly by President Donald Trump.

Russian leader Vladimir Putin seemed to echo President Trump’s unfounded claim that Russia wouldn’t have invaded Ukraine in 2022 if the Republican was in office instead of former President Joe Biden.
