Trump and Putin met at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska on Friday afternoon to discuss an end to Russia’s war on Ukraine, which began more than three years ago. The pair announced “great progress” had been made, but they still did not reach any kind of plan to end the war.

Richardson, ended without a ceasefire agreement, despite Trump’s optimistic portrayal of the talks as “very successful” and Putin’s claim of an “understanding” on Ukraine.

US President Donald Trump had a 'lengthy call' with Zelensky on flight back to Washington DC, Press Secretary Leavitt said. This comes hours after Trump's meeting in Alaska with Russian President Putin concluded.
