President Trump landed in Alaska today to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin for the first time in six years. The two world leaders shook hands warmly at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage. This historic summit shows Trump is already delivering on his promise to end the deadly war in Ukraine through strength and smart diplomacy.
Unlike the weak foreign policy we saw for four years, Putin actually showed up on time for Trump. The Russian leader usually keeps other world leaders waiting as a power play, but he clearly respects our President. Trump and Putin even rode together in the presidential limousine, showing the kind of personal diplomacy that gets real results for America.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio and White House envoy Steve Witkoff joined the opening talks alongside Trump. CIA Director John Ratcliffe also traveled with the President’s team. This shows Trump is taking a serious, all-hands approach to ending this costly conflict that has drained billions from American taxpayers.
The meetings are expected to last six or seven hours with a working lunch. Putin brought Russian business leaders with him, which Trump called a good sign. This proves that when America leads from strength, other countries want to do business with us again instead of just taking our money.
Trump gave the talks a 75 percent chance of success before they started. That kind of confidence comes from knowing how to negotiate from a position of strength. Previous administrations would have spent months making weak promises, but Trump gets straight to business.
The President said he would hold a joint press conference with Putin if talks go well. If they fail, he will hold his own press conference to tell Americans the truth. This is exactly the kind of straight talk we need from our leaders instead of political spin.
This Alaska summit has a Cold War feeling, but Trump is showing the world that America is back. While Russia’s foreign minister showed up wearing a USSR shirt, our President came ready to make deals that put America First. Real peace comes through strength, not weakness.
The Ukraine war has cost American taxpayers over 100 billion dollars and thousands of lives. Now Trump is doing what he promised during the campaign – ending foreign wars and bringing peace through smart dealmaking. This is what real leadership looks like when America has a President who puts our country first.
