Aida Chavez entitles her commentary on yesterday's Putin plays Trump show:

"Putin Got a Red Carpet, Trump Got Nothing."

She writes,

"President Donald Trump entered Friday’s Alaska summit with Russian leader Vladimir Putin having once promised to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of taking office."

“Trump Bows to Putin’s Approach on Ukraine: No Cease-Fire, Deadlines or Sanctions
The net effect of the Alaska summit was to give President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia a free pass to continue his war against his neighbor indefinitely without further penalty, pending talks on a broader peace deal.”

Good for the NY Times.

⚠️ Putin to bring his finance minister to the meeting in Alaska.

Why?

Shorter Melania:

‘I am so angry, I will put Donald- #Epstein relationship at the top of the international news cycle for many, many weeks.’
