15.08.2025 โ‡ข The Alaska Engagement
โŒจThe day of August 15 was defined by the highly anticipated Trump-Putin summit in Alaska, aiming to resolve the Ukraine conflict. Preparations culminated in Trump's departure, emphasizing "high stakes" and his expectation that Putin "will not mess me around." As delegations arrived amidst protests, Ukraine reported an attack on an Iranian arms ship in a Russian port. Talks commenced, predicted to last hours, with Trump stating no business until the war is settled. Leaders met, shook hands, and began discussions for a rapid ceasefire. The UK media reported Trump would walk out if no ceasefire was agreed, and that the UK was prepared to deploy troops if one was reached. After three hours, talks concluded as 'excellent', but Trump clarified no deal was reached, despite Putin suggesting agreement, with an invitation to Moscow setting the stage for future engagement. Concurrently, the domestic debate around "two-tier justice" intensified following a Labour councillor's acquittal on incitement charges.
