Trump-Putin summit starts on red carpet, ends in confusion

By Dave Lawler

Friday’s summit in Alaska began as a superpower spectacle, then abruptly ended without any indication of what was achieved or where things go from here.

Why it matters: President Trump didn’t get the ceasefire he came for, or the public commitment he wanted from Vladimir Putin to meet next with Volodymyr Zelensky. The leaders scrapped a planned lunch and departed early — but not before both declared the meeting a success.

Between the lines: It’s not hard to see why Putin likely left Anchorage satisfied. Images of Trump applauding as he walked down the red carpet were beamed back to Russia, and around the world.

• “They spent three years telling everyone Russia was isolated, and today they saw the beautiful red carpet laid out for the Russian president in the U.S.,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova noted.
• For now at least, Putin seems to have reset a relationship with Trump that had been splintering. Their brief joint press conference was short on substance but long on mutual praise.
• And Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that new oil sanctions for Russia — which were imminent until Putin proposed the meeting — were now probably off the table for a few weeks.

The other side: Trump insisted that progress was made on a number of issues, though not on the “biggest” one, without offering any specifics.

• En route to Alaska, Trump told Fox “I won’t be happy” if Putin doesn’t agree to a ceasefire.
• But afterwards, Trump said he was happy. “I think the meeting was a ten,” he told Hannity.
• Still, Trump was somewhat downbeat during the joint appearance. While Putin claimed an unspecified “agreement” had been reached, Trump brushed that off and said “we didn’t get there.”

Friction point: The inconclusive outcome might be most vexing to the party that was not in the room.

• While Trump warned of “very severe consequences” for Putin ahead of the summit if clear progress was not made, he pivoted to pressuring Ukraine once it was over.

• Trump told Hannity it was now “up to President Zelensky to get it done,” and later said “Russia is a very big power, and they’re not.”

Trump-Putin documents left on hotel printer : NPR

Exclusive , Investigations

Government papers found in an Alaskan hotel reveal new details of Trump-Putin summit

Updated August 16, 20251:56 PM ET

By Chiara Eisner

Papers with U.S. State Department markings, found Friday morning in the business center of an Alaskan hotel, revealed previously undisclosed and potentially sensitive details about the Aug. 15 meetings between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir V. Putin in Anchorage.

Eight pages, that appear to have been produced by U.S. staff and left behind accidentally, shared precise locations and meeting times of the summit and phone numbers of U.S. government employees.

At around 9 a.m. on Friday, three guests at Hotel Captain Cook, a four-star hotel located 20 minutes from the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage where leaders from the U.S. and Russia convened, found the documents left behind in one of the hotel’s public printers. NPR reviewed photos of the documents taken by one of the guests, who NPR agreed not to identify because the guest said they feared retaliation.

The first page in the printed packet disclosed the sequence of meetings for August 15, including the specific names of the rooms inside the base in Anchorage where they would take place. It also revealed that Trump intended to give Putin a ceremonial present.

“POTUS to President Putin,” the document states, “American Bald Eagle Desk Statue.”

On Saturday, White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly dismissed the papers as a “multi-page lunch menu” and suggested leaving the information on a public printer was not a security breach. The U.S. Department of State did not respond to requests for comment.

Pages 2 through 5 of the documents listed the names and phone numbers of three U.S. staff members as well as the names of 13 U.S. and Russian state leaders. The list provided phonetic pronouncers for all the Russian men expected at the summit, including “Mr. President POO-tihn.”

Pages 6 and 7 in the packet described how lunch at the summit would be served, and for whom. A menu included in the documents indicated that the luncheon was to be held “in honor of his excellency Vladimir Putin.”

A seating chart shows that Putin and Trump were supposed to sit across from each other during the luncheon. Trump would be flanked by six officials: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles to his right, and Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and Special Envoy for Peace Missions Steve Witkoff to his left. Putin would be seated immediately next to his Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sergey Lavrov, and his Aide to the President for Foreign Policy, Yuri Ushakov.

During the summit Friday, lunch was apparently cancelled. But it was intended to be a simple, three-course meal, the documents showed. After a green salad, the world leaders would dine on filet mignon and halibut olympia. Crème brûlée would be served for dessert.

while we are all vomiting at the incompetence of the #trump #putin #alaska #summit #alaskaSummit #trumpPutinSummit

...i just want to remind everyone of a little something that should come up when #congress is back in session in september

(they adjourned early due to rising anger at trump's attempt to downplay the #epstein topics, and which trump is desperately trying to distract about, and will continue to distract about in september)

don't stop the drumbeat

🥁 🥁 🥁

(Reuters) In early hrs of Sat morning following summit in #Alaska between #Trump & #Putin senior politicians in #Moscow were quick 2 trumpet the meeting as #win for Russia and its narrative of the war in #Ukraine. They portrayed the #summit as a #coup for Russia and a #loss for Ukraine and its #European #allies, who have been pushing for an #unconditional #ceasefire #maga #criminal #corruption #epsteinfiles #jeffreyepstein #coverup #distraction #news #government #democracy #justice #diplomacy

No pundit's opinion as to what will happen after the Alaskan cosplay summit is valid, mine included. We all knew that Putin would compliment Trump a couple times, make him feel manly, and Trump would give lipservice to all of Putin's demands. Every world leader knows how this works now. Everyone has manipulated the incontinent orangutan, and every one has experienced him changing his mind after his next encounter. Zelensky is lucky to be meeting him second. #Trump #Putin #Summit #Zelensky #TACO

Trump's people left some paper on the printer 😆 , interestingly they even planned to give Putin a present.

'I believe that #Putin will benefit from this, because what he is seeking, frankly, is #photographs.'" In the end, Putin the wanted #warcriminal got more than just photographs.

"President Donald #Trump said Saturday that #Ukraine & #Russia should go straight to agreeing on a final #peace deal, dropping his demand for a #ceasefire in a dramatic reversal that aligns him with Russian President Vladimir #Putin hours after their #summit in #Alaska. #Ukrainian President Volodymyr #Zelensky, with the backing of #European leaders, has insisted that a ceasefire must be in place before any #negotiations to end the #war."

Putin and Trump get to yes.

Succinct, accurate #summit headline from AFP.

One summit participant knows what he sees on TV is not real.

Was für eine gruselige Veranstaltung! Ein müder #Trump wird von einem triumphierenden #Putin vorgeführt, der zudem erzählt, wie eng Alaska mit #Russland verbunden ist (Nachtigall, ick hör' dir trapsen!). Und alle Zeichen stehen darauf, dass notwendige Sanktionen von der Trump-Regierung zukünftig umgangen werden. Ich warte mit Schrecken darauf, welche "Ergebnisse" noch verkündet werden.

#VladimirPutin set foot on U.S. soil for the first time in 10 years on Friday—but don’t try telling President Donald #Trump that.

In the days leading up to the historic #summit between the two world leaders, and even while traveling to the meeting in #Anchorage, Trump did not seem to understand that #Alaska is part of the #UnitedStates.
