President Donald Trump seemed to crack on Truth Social Sunday as he condemned the media for reporting on his apparent pro-Russia<\/a> stance following his Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Instead of pursuing a ceasefire agreement as originally planned, Trump said he would try to convince Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky<\/a> to concede land to the Kremlin in order to put an end to the more than three-year war.<\/p>\n

Critics saw this outcome as an obvious bow to Putin, but the president disagreed.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s incredible how the Fake News violently distorts the TRUTH when it comes to me. There is NOTHING I can say or do that would lead them to write or report honestly about me.” Trump wrote on social media.<\/p>\n

“I had a great meeting in Alaska on Biden\u2019s stupid War, a war that should have never happened!!!”<\/p>\n

Zelensky is set to meet with the US president on Monday in the White House, along with other European leaders, to discuss the details of Trump’s meeting with Putin.<\/p>\n

The leaders gave a joint statement to the media following a nearly three-hour meeting, but then left without answering any questions. \u201cThere\u2019s no deal until there\u2019s a deal,\u201d Trump said shortly after the summit.<\/p>\n

The president claimed to have made “some great progress” with Putin, but he provided few specifics, leaving the world to speculate as to what those advancements might be.<\/p>\n

“We didn’t get there,” he subsequently stated, leaving the room without answering any questions from the hundreds of reporters who had assembled.<\/p>\n

Even though Trump had less at risk than Russia<\/a> or Ukraine<\/a> during these negotiations, it nonetheless damaged his reputation both at home and abroad after he previously stated that there was only a 25% chance that the summit would fail.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the president had to endure the seeming humiliation of remaining mute while Putin gave lengthy opening statements to begin the news conference that never happened.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"President Donald Trump seemed to crack on Truth Social Sunday as he condemned the media for reporting on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":352631,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[32,12,11508,332,657,333,658,26],"class_list":{"0":"post-352630","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world","8":"tag-donald-trump","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-politics-section","11":"tag-russia","12":"tag-ukraine","13":"tag-vladimir-putin","14":"tag-volodymyr-zelensky","15":"tag-world"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115046311882681846","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/352630","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=352630"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/352630\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/352631"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=352630"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=352630"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=352630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
