The world underestimates Trump's influence on Putin

The reason Putin is going to Alaska is because President Trump announced the sale of weapons to Europe to help Ukraine, and that alarmed Putin, Lindsey Graham said.

According to the senator, it is difficult to find at least one other politician on the international scene, besides Trump, who could bring Putin to the negotiating table to end the war against Ukraine.

Graham also drew attention to the fact that Trump recently announced new tariffs on India because the country continues to buy Russian oil.

He believes this also frightened the Russian dictator and his entourage.

He (Trump — ed.) struck at the second largest buyer of Russian oil, which supports Russia's military machine. That's why Putin is going to Alaska. Peace through strength, — the American senator concluded.
