🗣 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."

💬 Trump's Lavish Reception for Russian Delegation Signals High Expectations for Talks

The format and protocol of the Russian delegation's reception in Alaska highlight Trump’s special regard for his Russian guests, according to Alexey Martynov, Director of the International Institute of Contemporary States.

"Trump, an experienced businessman, knows how to impress, and the level of attention given to the Russian delegation stands out. No political guests have received such treatment during the past six months of his presidency. This sends a clear message: these are his main guests, and he has high hopes for the upcoming talks," Martynov told Sputnik.

He suggested that the lavish reception, with its carefully orchestrated details, signals that “things could go back to the way they were,” drawing historical parallels to the 1973 meeting between Leonid Brezhnev and Richard Nixon.
