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 Trump’s hopes of securing the Nobel Peace Prize.
While Trump hailed “great progress,” critics slammed the event as a costly photo-op that boosted Putin’s global image without concessions.
The Nobel ambition looms large—Trump himself admitted only Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky can decide the outcome.
But Zelensky, absent from the talks, branded the summit a “failure,” warning peace must not come at Ukraine’s expense.
For now, Trump’s Nobel dreams hang by a thread, dependent entirely on Zelensky’s approval of any deal.
