In the great Alaskan dodgeball of diplomacy, President Trump and Vladimir Putin held a 'constructive' summit lasting about 2.5 hours at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, complete with a B-2 bomber flyover because subtlety is overrated. Trump declared 'no deal until thereās a deal,' while Putin vaguely claimed an 'agreement' but forgot the detailsāclassic. Trump hoped to wheel Ukrainian President Zelensky into a follow-up summit that didnāt happen, leaving the peace plan stuck in 'maybe next time.' Putin called US-Russia relations the 'lowest point since the Cold War'ābut hey, progress is apparently constructive silence.
