"So they'll never admit that. The White House is never going to say that. But yes, we are well past the two weeks from that Alaska Summit, and there has not been any movement toward a bilat between Zelenskyy and Putin, let alone a trilat. Now, President Trump is supposed to go to Europe in the next two weeks and there is some hope by some advisers to the president President Trump that there could be some activity before that or maybe right after that."
"He has just been punting on this issue for some time. And I think what you are seeing is he genuinely does not know how to alter Putin's behavior."
Three weeks after the Alaska summit between President Trump and Vladimir Putin, no progress has occurred toward a ceasefire or bilateral talks between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Russia has not moved toward negotiations. The White House will not publicly acknowledge failure. A European trip by President Trump is scheduled within weeks, and some advisers hope for activity before or after the trip, but expectations are low. The president previously warned of significant consequences if talks produced nothing, yet the matter has been delayed. The president appears unable to change Putin's behavior, and no other leader has succeeded.
