The Alaska summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin has ended, but the aftershocks are only beginning. From secret side talks to awkward body language and stunning geopolitical twists, Trumpās post-summit remarks have raised more questions than answers. While Putin appeared to control the narrative, Trumpās revelations ā some baffling, some explosive ā left U.S. allies anxious and Ukraine deeply unsettled. Was Trump outplayed, or is there a bigger game in motion?

On August 15, 2025, Donald Trump staged a dramatic red-carpet welcome for Vladimir Putin at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, hoping to cement his legacy as a global peacemaker. The high-stakes summit, costing millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars, ended without a ceasefire or territorial agreement, dashing Trumpās hopes of securing the Nobel Peace Prize. While Trump hailed āgreat progress,ā critics slammed the event as a costly photo-op that boosted Putinās global image without concessions. The Nobel ambition looms largeāTrump himself admitted only Ukraineās President Volodymyr Zelensky can decide the outcome. But Zelensky, absent from the talks, branded the summit a āfailure,ā warning peace must not come at Ukraineās expense. For now, Trumpās Nobel dreams hang by a thread, dependent entirely on Zelenskyās approval of any deal.

Gaza Church Strike: In a rare public rebuke, President Trump personally phoned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address the Israeli strike on Gaza's only Catholic Church, the Holy Family Church. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Trumpās reaction was "not positive," and said Netanyahu agreed the strike was a mistake. Israel has expressed deep regret, stating stray ammunition hit the church, killing three civilians and injuring nine, including the parish priest.
The incident, which has drawn international condemnationāfrom the Vatican to Italy and Franceāadds fresh strain to U.S.āIsrael relations. Netanyahu pledged a full investigation, emphasizing Israelās commitment to protecting civilians and holy sites. As global outrage mounts over one of Gaza's most sacred landmarks being struck, Trump's demand for accountability signals growing U.S. intolerance of collateral harm amidst the Gaza conflict.
