Trump and Putin Chat: What's the Big Deal?

Anchorage, USASat Aug 16 2025

So, Trump and Putin had a chat. A really long one.

  • They stood together and talked about stuff.
  • Trump said it was good.
  • Putin said it was useful.

But did they make any real progress? Not really.

Topics Discussed

  • Ukraine
  • Trade
  • Space

But guess what? They didn't make any big deals.

  • Trump said: "There's no deal until there's a deal."
  • That's like saying, "I'll believe it when I see it."

Putin mentioned some agreements but didn't specify what they were.

  • That's like saying, "Trust me, it's good."
  • But we don't know what "it" is.

The Long Meeting

  • They met for a long time.
  • But did they solve anything? Not really.

  • They talked about the Arctic.
  • They talked about space.
  • But did they make any real plans? Who knows?

Future Plans

  • Trump said he would talk to his allies.
  • He said he would talk to Zelenskiy.
  • But what will he say? That's the big question.

The Verdict

  • They talked.
  • They smiled.
  • They said nice things.

But did they do anything? Not really.

It's like a long conversation that didn't go anywhere.
