Italian newspapers intensely covered the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska, from its anticipated start to its conclusion. Early reports emphasized Trump's confidence in achieving peace and discussions around territorial exchanges, while Lavrov's provocative arrival in a USSR sweatshirt drew attention. Throughout the day, Trump asserted "high stakes" for the meeting, declaring no business with Russia until the war's resolution and explicitly demanding an immediate ceasefire, stating Europe would not dictate his actions. The summit, reportedly lasting 2-3 hours, began with a notable handshake. Post-meeting, both leaders described "progress" and a "useful" encounter, although no full agreement was reached. Putin expressed hope for Ukrainian peace and invited Trump to Moscow, with Trump confirming future talks with NATO and Zelensky.
