After meeting Putin, Trump changes his position on the need for a ceasefire
President Trump greets Russian President Vladimir Putin at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson on Friday in Anchorage, Alaska. On his flight to Alaska, Trump said his top priority was a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war. After meeting with Putin, Trump said a ceasefire was not essential, and it was better to seek a permanent peace agreement.

When President Trump was flying to Alaska to meet Vladimir Putin, he said the goal was a ceasefire. But after they talked, Trump aligned himself with Putin and downplayed the need for a truce.
