President Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin are holding a joint news conference after a more than 2 1/2-hour meeting in Alaska.

Russian President Vladimir Putin got everything he could have hoped for in Alaska. President Donald Trump got very little — judging by his own pre-summit metrics.

EXCLUSIVE: First Lady Melania Trump wrote a “peace letter" to Russian President Vladimir Putin telling him “it is time" to protect children and future generations around the globe, Fox News Digital has learned.

The meeting between the U.S. president and the Russian leader didn’t appear to yield any breakthroughs.

The net effect of the Alaska summit was to give President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia a free pass to continue his war against his neighbor indefinitely without further penalty, pending talks on a broader peace deal.

Bill Maher, host of HBO's "Real Time," reacted to the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska on Friday with his panel, calling it a "zombie lie" that President Donald Trump is a Putin ally. Panelist Walter Kirk argued that Putin looked like Trump's caddy and dismissed the idea that Trump is a Russian agent.

Trump appeared to endorse Russia's plan as the fastest way to a peace deal, abandoning the demand for a ceasefire and threats of sanctions agains Moscow, officials told the NYT.
