Swalwell Hits Trump for No Progress in Putin Meeting: ‘Art of No Deal’
The summit failed to secure a ceasefire in Ukraine, with Putin gaining legitimacy and Trump making unfulfilled promises despite claiming a 10 out of 10 success, officials said.
- On August 15, 2025, US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met in Alaska to discuss ending Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

- The meeting left Putin with increased legitimacy in the West and showed tensions around peace prospects remain high as Ukraine continues to face air raids and conflict.
