Red Carpet Welcome but No Ukraine Deal: Key Takeaways From the Trump-Putin Summit

Trump hosted Putin in the US for the first time in a decade but failed to secure a ceasefire, with the war in Ukraine now over three years ongoing, experts say.

  • On August 15, 2025, the leaders of the United States and Russia met in Alaska for the first time since 2019, greeting each other warmly on a red carpet prior to their summit.
  • The summit aimed to halt Russia's war in Ukraine, a conflict Putin initiated in early 2022, but no agreement was reached despite hopes for progress.
  • Trump and Putin exchanged warm words and praised each other, yet their public comments revealed few details and acknowledged unresolved differences on Ukraine.
  • Trump said, "We had a very productive meeting" and "we haven’t quite got there," while Putin expected the agreements to mark a new chapter in US-Russia relations.
  • The summit ended without a deal, leaving Trump with little to show and suggesting ongoing diplomatic challenges and continued conflict in Ukraine.
