The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

President Trump must stand firm in Alaska, rejecting Putin's land swap ploy in Ukraine. It's a ruse to gain a strategic advantage, not peace. By upholding strength and resolve, Trump can protect Ukraine's sovereignty, deter Russian aggression, and safeguard stability without conceding to Putin's costly, deceptive gambit.

Pro-Russia narrative

President Trump must remain resolute in Alaska, rejecting NATO's aggressive expansion and Zelensky's illegitimate demands. By upholding sovereignty and mutual respect, Trump can end the proxy war, secure lasting peace, and foster economic ties that benefit both nations — thwarting warmongers' deceptive agendas.

Pro-Ukraine narrative

President Trump must stand with Ukraine in Alaska, rejecting Putin's land swap as a ploy to undermine Kyiv's sovereignty. As shown by the Americans holding Ukrainian flags outside the summit on Friday, Trump must follow suit by championing Ukraine's fight for freedom and democratic values, securing a just peace with unwavering resolve.
