Putin-Trump Meeting / 3 hour meeting between Putin and Trump, 3 good and 3 bad things came out of the meeting

Putin-Trump Meeting: The recent meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin may have ended, but it has left many questions and discussions. The meeting was considered historic due to Putin's visit to the US after ten years. However, despite great expectations, the results were equally disappointing. The nearly three-hour talks and a brief 12-minute press conference did not yield any concrete results, especially on the issue of the Ukraine war. This meeting underlines the need for dialogue, but at the same time it also makes it clear how complicated this path is. Let us understand the positive and negative aspects of this meeting in detail.

Positive aspects

1. Putin's return to the global stage

The biggest highlight of this meeting in Alaska was Vladimir Putin's return to the international stage. Western countries had isolated Russia diplomatically and economically after the attack on Ukraine in February 2022. Putin's meeting with US President Donald Trump amid tight sanctions was a major diplomatic moment. Trump welcomed Putin with a red carpet and applause, giving Putin the global platform he had been looking for for a long time.

2. Trump's diplomatic batting for Putin

Trump indicated in this meeting that he is ready for diplomatic efforts to improve relations with Russia. This message was also for America's traditional European allies that Trump's priority is to keep Russia on the negotiating table, even if it puts pressure on the unity of Western countries. This is part of Trump's strategy in which he is giving priority to dialogue with Russia.

3. India's role and Trump's bet

The diplomatic signals of this meeting are also important for India. Before the meeting, Trump, in a radio interview, targeted India's oil imports from Russia and said that Putin agreed to this dialogue due to the pressure of American tariffs. Experts believe that this statement was Trump's strategy to put pressure on Russia through India. However, due to no concrete result in the meeting, America may avoid targeting India again.

Negative aspects

1. Continuation of Ukraine war

The biggest negative aspect of this meeting is that there was no progress towards ending the Ukraine war that has been going on for three years. No concrete agreement could be reached between the two leaders, due to which the ground situation will remain as it is. Putin wants to end the Ukraine war on his own terms, and this is the reason why no consensus could be reached in this meeting to end the war. Due to this, the suffering of the common people is likely to increase further.

2. Lack of trust in Europe and America

This meeting may increase the lack of trust between Europe and America's allies. If America shows leniency towards Russia, then European countries may feel that their security interests are being sidelined. Before the meeting, Ukraine's allies had clearly said that it is necessary to include Ukraine in any peace talks with Russia. Ukraine's absence in this meeting has deepened this concern.

3. The challenge of balance for America

The biggest challenge before Trump is to strike a balance between Russia and Europe. On the one hand, he wants to improve relations with Putin, while on the other hand, he has to fulfil the expectations of NATO countries. This balancing act can become a complex challenge for America's foreign policy. If Trump shows more leniency towards Russia, then tensions with NATO countries can increase.
