No Questions, No Answers: Alaska Summit Ends with Unusual Putin-Trump Press Conference
Saturday, 16 August 2025 () The Alaska summit between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump ended with a highly unusual press conference, leaving observers questioning the direction of U.S.-Russia relations and the prospects for a settlement in Ukraine. Press Conference Without Questions According to Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich, the White House had initially prepared two scenarios: a joint appearance if talks were successful, or a solo address by Trump if they failed. "Neither happened," she remarked. Instead, Putin was the first to address the press, an unexpected move given that the event took place on U.S. soil. Neither leader answered questions, with the Kremlin explaining that both presidents had already made "comprehensive statements."
