President Donald Trump and Russia’s President Vladimir Putin talk, Friday, Aug. 15, 2025, at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska. Trump kept his statement uncharacteristically short, and did not appear particularly happy with what had transpired in his meeting with Putin. If President Trump won’t act, Congress must do so decisively by passing crushing sanctions.”Trump and Putin have history. Trump told Fox News that he expected a trilateral summit, involving both Putin and Zelenskyy, to happen soon. The summit thus provided an opening for the Russian leader to once again stand on a global stage with another world leader.
