US EditionTrump Echoes Putin Stance on Ceasefire
Trump shifts from ceasefire to backing a Kremlin-aligned peace agreement as Putin gains diplomatic leverage during his first U.S. visit in a decade, analysts say.
- On August 15–16, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska for a summit focused on ending the Ukraine war.
- Trump shifted from demanding a ceasefire to advocating a full peace agreement, aligning with Putin's long-standing stance against temporary truces.
- The summit yielded no clear breakthrough as Russian forces continued attacks, while European and Ukrainian leaders emphasized security guarantees and territorial integrity.
- Trump stated on social media that the ideal way to conclude the conflict is by reaching a comprehensive Peace Agreement that fully resolves the war, rather than opting for a temporary Ceasefire Agreement, which often fails to hold.
- Following the summit, Trump committed to a White House meeting with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy on August 18, and a possible trilateral summit with Putin if progress continues.
