Trump, Putin Conclude Lengthy Alaska Summit Talks
President Donald TRUMP and Russian President Vladimir Putin wrapped up their longest face-to-face meeting to date during the Alaska summit, with discussions extending over two-and-a-half hours. The extended dialogue, described by Trump as a 'feel-out' session, hints at potential groundwork for future high-stakes negotiations, possibly involving Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
The talks transitioned into a three-on-three format with key aides, including US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. The Kremlin confirmed the conclusion of the narrow-format discussions, though broader geopolitical implications remain speculative.
