Trump's Alaska Summit: Peace Deals or Just Land Swap Bingo?
In a call lasting over an hour, President Trump set his sights on a ceasefire at his upcoming summit with Putin, telling European leaders he's ‘not from the region’ but believes ‘land swaps will be needed’—because who else orders the furniture? French President Macron got 'very tough,' and Trump ‘didn't like that.’ Zelensky reminded everyone 'Putin cannot be trusted,' which is basically the international equivalent of ‘he’s got commitment issues.’ Merz and other European bigwigs pushed back, stressing that Ukrainian interests 'must be upheld.' Anyway, Trump’s optimism is cautiously hopeful: 'Yes, the president hasn't been happy... But that’s gone. He’s optimistic.'

Trump’s grand peace plan is basically: guess who gets what land later, no promises, negotiate yourselves, carry on! It’s like handing Putin and Zelensky a Monopoly board and quitting halfway through. At least 'Art of the Deal' sounds fancy.
Trump wants to ‘feel out’ peace with Putin. Because when it comes to war, it’s all about first impressions and awkward small talk.
Land swaps and ceasefires from a guy ‘not from the region’ — the perfect recipe for a vacation homeowner deciding borders. Airbnb meets geopolitics.
