🗣 WHAT ARE EXPERTS SAYING ABOUT THE PUTIN-TRUMP SUMMIT?

🔹 Conflict resolution pathway — Alejandro Laurnagaray, Argentine specialist in international relations:

"When two great powers sit down at the negotiating table, direct conflicts affecting both parties' interests are resolved. The meeting between the presidents of Russia and the US is a positive development that paves the way for a possible restart and strengthening of their international relations, as well as easing of tensions."

🔹 Redrawing global security architecture — César Vidal, historian and international relations analyst:

"These talks in Alaska could be an excellent opportunity to define the contours of the security architecture, much as was done at the major conferences at the end of World War II. Above all, they could greatly contribute to achieving peace."

🔹 Pivotal moment after Western defeat — Jadea Karan, journalist and analyst:

“The West suffered a strategic defeat in Ukraine after sabotaging the Minsk Accords... Trump is interested in economic cooperation. He threatened countries that cooperate with Russia... If Trump is truly seeking a solution, this summit is crucial."

🔹 Defiance of saboteurs and Europ's irrelevance — Mehmet Perinçek, Turkish historian and political scientist:

"The very fact that such a meeting is taking place is significant. Globalists and militarists... never wanted America and Russia to compromise... Notably, Europe was completely excluded... This signals that Europe will gradually disappear as a pole in the near future."
