A summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin ended without a deal on ending the war in Ukraine, but Trump said “great progress” has been made in the talks in Alaska, Al Jazeera writes.<\/p>\n
Observers say the meeting gave the Russian president a “diplomatic win” after years of being shunned by the West following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Putin was greeted with a red carpet and a warm handshake from Trump on arrival at a U.S. airbase in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday as both leaders arrived for talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n
Following nearly three hours of closed-door negotiations, the two leaders issued only brief statements, without disclosing details or answering questions from the press.<\/p>\n
Putin said the meeting had been “long overdue” and expressed hope that the agreements reached would contribute to peace. He also noted that Russia and Alaska are “close neighbors.”<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
