The US president said a peace agreement would be better than a "mere" ceasefire, hours after summit with Putin that produced little.

President Donald Trump said on social media Saturday that a deal better than “a mere Ceasefire” is in the works with Vladimir Putin, hours after Trump’s high-stakes summit with the Russian leader in Alaska failed to produce an agreement to halt Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The problem is that they have no strategy of their own for ending the Ukraine war, other than hoping to contain Russia over the longer term.

Lawmakers retreated to their partisan corners in response to the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska, with Republicans praising the president and Democrats arguing he was too cozy with Putin.

The meeting between President Trump and Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin is taking place in a region rich with significance for Moscow. Once Russian territory, Alaska was sold by Alexander II in 1867 for $7.

President Donald Trump is set to travel to Alaska to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin as he seeks negotiations to end Russia's war against Ukraine, threatening more tariffs on Russian energy if ceasefire talks falter.

Plus, Attorney General Pam Bondi named DEA head Terry Cole as the "emergency police commissioner" of D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department.

President Donald Trump warned that "severe consequences" lie ahead for Russia if Russian President Vladimir Putin doesn't agree to stop the Ukraine war after they meet for a high-stakes summit in Alaska on Friday.
