President Trump is doing what real leaders do. He’s sitting down with Putin in Alaska to end the bloody war in Ukraine. While Democrats spent years screaming about Russia, Trump is actually getting results through tough negotiation.
KT McFarland knows how Trump operates. She served as his Deputy National Security Advisor and understands his dealmaking style. McFarland explained that Trump always has backup plans when the first approach doesn’t work.
This Alaska summit is Trump’s Plan C. His first plan was to use charm and personality to bring both sides together. When that failed, he used economic and military pressure on Ukraine’s leader Zelensky.
Now Trump is face to face with Putin himself. He’s making it clear that America won’t do business with Russia until this war ends. Putin reportedly wants access to American markets and brought Russian business leaders to the summit.
Trump told reporters that Putin wants a piece of the American economy. But our president is staying firm on priorities. No trade deals or economic partnerships until the killing stops in Ukraine.
The president hinted that America might help guarantee Ukraine’s security after a ceasefire. But he made it crystal clear that Ukraine will never join NATO. Trump understands what’s realistic and what’s just wishful thinking from the war hawks.
Former Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov thinks Putin needs a ceasefire because Russia’s economy is struggling. Putin might offer to buy American Boeing jets or restart titanium shipments to sweeten any deal with Trump.
This is exactly why America voted for Trump again. He doesn’t play political games while people die in foreign wars. He sits down with tough guys and hammers out real solutions that put America first.
