Trump speaks to Ukraine and NATO after Putin summit
US President Donald Trump has spoken to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy after his summit with Russia's Vladimir Putin in Alaska and also talked with European and NATO leaders. Details of the conversations early on Saturday were not immediately released. Trump secured no agreement to end Russia's war in Ukraine even after rolling out the red carpet for Putin. Trump said that "there's no deal until there's a deal" after Putin claimed the two leaders had hammered out an "understanding" on Ukraine and warned Europe not to "torpedo the nascent progress". During an interview with Fox News Channel before leaving Alaska, Trump insisted that the onus going forward might be on Zelenskiy "to get it done", but said there would also be some involvement from European nations. Trump did not speak to reporters on his flight back to Washington. When his plane landed, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that Trump was on the phone with NATO leaders after a lengthy call with Zelenskiy. Trump then disembarked Air Force One without speaking to reporters. He did not respond to shouted questions about the phone calls as he climbed into his limousine. Trump spoke with Zelenskiy, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Polish President Karol Nawrocki, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, European Commission spokesperson Arianna Podesta said. She gave no details of the roughly hour-long conversation. There was no immediate comment Saturday from Zelenskiy or from other European leaders, who did not have a place at the table at Friday's summit. Putin's foreign affairs adviser, Yuri Ushakov, said on Russian state television Saturday that a potential trilateral meeting between Trump, Putin and Zelenskiy has not been raised in US-Russia discussions. "The topic has not been touched upon yet," Ushakov said, according to Russian state news agency RIA Novosti.
