U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin ended nearly three hours of talks at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage on Friday without sealing a cease-fire or wider settlement to Russia’s war in Ukraine. Trump said the summit was “extremely productive” and that “many, many points” had been agreed, but added, “there’s no deal until there’s a deal.” One outstanding issue remains “significant,” he acknowledged. Trump told reporters he will brief NATO allies and speak with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy before any agreement is final, stressing that it is “ultimately up to them” to accept the emerging framework. He declined to detail the unresolved items but indicated the parties have a “very good chance” of bridging the remaining gaps. Putin, calling the meeting “long overdue,” said the sides reached an “understanding” and warned European capitals not to “torpedo” the progress. He reiterated Moscow’s view that lasting peace requires addressing what he called the root causes of the conflict, but offered no specifics. Both leaders highlighted the cordial tone of the encounter, Trump noting he has “always had a fantastic relationship” with Putin. The Anchorage summit marked Putin’s first visit to U.S. soil in a decade and Trump’s most direct effort yet to broker an end to the 3½-year-old war. While the session produced no immediate breakthroughs, both capitals signaled readiness for follow-on diplomacy that could include Ukraine and key European participants.
