Several Democratic lawmakers criticized President Donald Trump's recent summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin held in Alaska. Senator Chris Murphy described the meeting as a "disaster" and an "embarrassment" for the United States, asserting that Putin "got everything he wanted" with no commitments or consequences from the U.S. side. Representative Adam Smith, the ranking Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, expressed his disappointment with the historic summit. Similarly, Representative Jason Crow labeled the meeting a "historic embarrassment" for the United States. These critiques highlight Democratic concerns over the outcome of the Alaska summit, contrasting with past criticisms of Trump’s diplomatic engagements, such as those with North Korea.
