President Trump declared his Alaskan summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin "extremely productive," but says no deal or ceasefire has been reached yet. Giving few details about the tentative agreement, Trump said he first had to speak to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and our European allies about what transpired. FOX News Radio's Eben Brown discusses the no-deal result, the Trump administration's objectives for negotiating an end to the war on Ukraine, and the challenges the President will confront in a possible second meeting with Putin. The Trump administration is cracking down on crime in the nation's capital. City leaders in Washington, D.C., filed a lawsuit Friday, ultimately challenging the administration's takeover of the Metropolitan Police Department. Republicans have praised the move, arguing that crime has gotten out of control. However, others are arguing that the city has seen record-low crime this year.

Send us a textAt a remote military base in Alaska, two of the world's most formidable figures sit across from each other in a moment pregnant with possibility. President Trump and President Putin's summit marks the first US-hosted presidential meeting with Russia since 1988, unfolding against the bloody backdrop of Ukraine's ongoing war.Trump arrives projecting confidence, publicly estimating a 75% chance of success while warning of "severe consequences" should talks fail. His goal? To position himself as the ultimate diplomatic dealmaker, with plans for a follow-up meeting including Ukrainian President Zelensky if progress materializes. For Putin, under pressure from Western sanctions and slowing battlefield advances, the summit offers potential relief – though his territorial ambitions remain firm.The summit's most controversial aspect is Ukraine's absence from the negotiating table. This raises profound ethical questions: can peace be brokered without the direct participation of the nation most affected? European leaders have rallied behind Zelensky, opposing any territorial concessions without Ukraine's consent. Meanwhile, Ukrainians themselves reveal a complex reality – 70% favor a negotiated peace, yet 76% reject giving up territory to Russia.Beyond the diplomatic chess match, global economic consequences hang in the balance. As a major energy exporter, Russia's status significantly impacts world markets. A constructive deal could drop oil prices by $5 per barrel, while failed talks might push them above $80. Three scenarios now unfold: a partial ceasefire enabling further negotiations, a diplomatic stalemate producing rhetoric but little substance, or collapsed talks that escalate tensions worldwide.As we witness this historic meeting, one question lingers: will Alaska serve as a bridge between war and peace, or merely a stage for political theater?
