Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) tore into President Trump early Saturday after his high-stakes meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska ended without a deal, accusing the president of “selling out” Ukraine. “Looks like once again Trump is selling out Ukraine and bowing down to dictator Putin,” he wrote on social media platform X. “No Nobel Peace Prize for that.”
His critique comes days after former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton quipped that she would nominate Trump for the coveted prize if he successfully squeezed a ceasefire agreement out of the Russian leader.
Trump and Putin met at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska on Friday for a roughly three-hour discussion. While details of the conversation have not been released, the president touted the meeting as “productive” and signaled that while progress was made, a deal was not yet on the table.
“We didn’t get there, but we have a good chance,” he told reporters following the summit, but did not take questions. The president later briefed NATO and European leaders — who responded by doubling down on their support for Ukraine — on the meeting. Schumer, in separate comments late Friday, accused Trump of rolling out the red carpet for Putin, who he called an “authoritarian thug.”
