Washington Week with The Atlantic

Did Trump succeed in Alaska, or is Putin manipulating him?

Season 2025 Episode 33 | 13m 33s

Presidents Trump and Putin finished their summit in Alaska. At a press conference in which the two leaders took no questions from the press, Trump made it clear that he likes Putin, but he also said, “there’s no deal until there’s a deal.” We don’t know yet what happened in that meeting, but we do know that there’s no ceasefire in Ukraine.
