The World After the Alaska Summit
Anchorage became the moment when the creation of a new world order was declared to the world, even though nothing was explicitly said about it. One could have turned off the TV sound and not listened to the speeches of Putin and Trump, or the media commentary and reports. The picture itself said it all.
In Anchorage, and then in Washington, nothing was said about any specific agreements between Trump and Putin, nor about the content of Trump’s conversation with Zelenskyy.
Trump’s current team differs from his previous Administration in several key parameters, including the fact that leaks from the White House are absolutely excluded. If secret negotiations are underway or plans are being developed that others should not know about, then information is released only to cover up the real content of the talks.
