The Economist: “Time differences meant that most Ukrainians only learned about the Alaska summit on Saturday morning. Though their initial reaction was relief, now they are dreading what comes next. The immediate sigh of calm was understandable. The feared grand bargain in Anchorage between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin had not materialized. Initial reports highlighted that the talks at an American military base were truncated and lacked any clear outcome.”

Said one MP: “Disaster averted: Trump has not sold us down the river.”

“But as the sketchy details have hardened into a growing prospect of forthcoming demands that will prove impossible for Ukraine to accept, confidence is giving way to unease, not least about the planned meeting in Washington on Monday between Mr Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky.”

Politico has the rundown:

12 p.m. — A cavalcade of European leaders arrive, including French President Emmanuel Macron, U.K. PM Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Italian PM Giorgia Meloni, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

1 p.m. — Zelensky arrives and the press will see Trump greet him.

1:10 p.m. — We’re expecting an Oval Office press spray featuring Trump and Zelensky ahead of a bilateral meeting.

2:30 p.m. — We’ll see a “family photo” with Trump and European leaders.

3 p.m. — Trump, Zelensky and European leaders will meet in the East Room.

“Iraqi officials have begun the excavation of what is believed to be a mass grave left behind by the Islamic State extremist group during its rampage across the country a decade ago,” NBC News reports.

Dan Wang: “As the Chinese economy surges forward, the U.S. has lost its capacity for physical improvement.”

Michael Hirsch: “President Donald Trump drew a lot of flak for inviting Russian President Vladimir Putin onto U.S. soil for the first time in a decade, complete with a red carpet, a bright ‘Alaska 2025’ sign, and a joint news conference. That was despite getting little from the Russian leader beforehand, save a pledge to continue killing Ukrainians and seizing their territory if the summit didn’t go precisely his way.”

“And as quickly became clear at the news conference the two leaders held Friday, Trump came away with less than the minimum he had hoped for, which was a temporary cease-fire. Despite Putin’s gracious words to Trump—and Trump’s description of him as a “fantastic” partner—the Russian appeared to give no ground whatsoever on his fundamental position that Ukraine is Russian territory and that he will not compromise.”
