Neither President Donald Trump nor Russian President Vladimir Putin revealed specific details about their nearly three-hour discussion in Alaska at a news conference Friday. But they nodded to some areas of agreement.
Trump said that while the two leaders “made some headway … we didn’t get there, but we have a very good chance of getting there.”

The two leaders did not take questions from reporters after meeting for nearly three hours with their advisers behind closed doors.

Putin also criticized former President Joe Biden without saying his name, suggesting that if Trump had been in office when Russia invaded Ukraine in February in 2022, there would not have been a war. “I can confirm that,” he said.

At the end of Trump’s remarks, Putin suggested in English that their next meeting could be held in Moscow. “I’ll get a little heat on that one," Trump responded, “but I could see it possibly happening.”

The summit at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, a U.S. military installation in Anchorage, Alaska, was the first time Trump and Putin have met in person since Trump’s return to the White House earlier this year.
