Trump says 'no deal' but progress made after Ukraine talks with Putin

  • On August 16, 2025, the leaders of the United States and Russia met for nearly three hours in Anchorage, Alaska, to discuss the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, but the summit concluded without reaching a formal agreement.
  • The meeting followed a background of over three years of conflict, with Ukraine's President Zelenskyy excluded from discussions and condemning ongoing Russian attacks just before the summit.
  • Trump described the talks as very productive with many points agreed on, while Putin called the negotiations respectful and useful, but both acknowledged unresolved issues and no final agreement.
  • Market experts noted the absence of new economic sanctions as positive, predicting a possible relief rally, while emphasizing that this summit represented a first step rather than a substantive deal.
  • The summit's outcome suggests ongoing diplomatic efforts, with Trump planning to brief NATO and Zelenskyy and hopes for future engagements, though the war continues without clear end signals from Moscow.
