Trump-Putin Press Conference: POTUS's ‘Power Move’ Revealed Amid Height Speculation

Trump and Putin held a rare joint press conference after a nearly three-hour meeting focused on peace talks and potential land swaps amid ongoing Ukraine conflict.

  • On Friday, President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin opened the 2025 Alaska Summit in Anchorage with a handshake and military flyover, and Trump called the session “extremely productive.”
  • Despite his harsher tone over the past months, Trump outlined a rapid ceasefire and complained that Putin was stalling him, reflecting a history of placating the Russian leader.
  • Reporters observed that neither leader used the word `ceasefire` in their brief media statements, despite Zelensky's absence and his call for a peace path.
  • Following the summit, Trump agreed to send new weapons to Ukraine funded by Europe, warned of a 25 percent chance talks could fail, and promised `severe consequences` for the Kremlin.
  • Trump signaled he might broker a second meeting with Putin and Zelensky, saying `All I want to do is set the table for the next meeting, which should happen shortly`.
