President Donald Trump bragged that at least Russian President Vladimir Putin “respects our country now” after he failed to cement a ceasefire deal that would end the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
Talking up the deftness of his dealmaking, Trump told Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade that he would know “in the first couple of minutes” if his historic Friday morning summit with Putin in Alaska was a bust.
With media outlets reporting that Trump walked away from the meeting empty-handed, the president went into full damage control mode in a Friday night debrief with Fox News host Sean Hannity, blaming the meeting’s failure on former President Joe Biden.
Hannity again appeared to be setting Trump up to talk about how sanctions against Russia had brought Putin to the negotiating table, citing Trump’s implementation of tariffs to ink trade deals as an example.
However, Trump instead opted to flatter Putin.
“I don’t want to say anything brought him to the table,” Trump said. “He’s a very smart guy. Nothing brought him to the table, so to speak.”
