Summary

President Trump declared his Alaskan summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin "extremely productive," but says no deal or ceasefire has been reached yet. Giving few details about the tentative agreement, Trump said he first had to speak to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and our European allies about what transpired. FOX News Radio's Eben Brown discusses the no-deal result, the Trump administration's objectives for negotiating an end to the war on Ukraine, and the challenges the President will confront in a possible second meeting with Putin. The Trump administration is cracking down on crime in the nation's capital. City leaders in Washington, D.C., filed a lawsuit Friday, ultimately challenging the administration's takeover of the Metropolitan Police Department. Republicans have praised the move, arguing that crime has gotten out of control. However, others are arguing that the city has seen record-low crime this year. Former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker joined the FOX News Rundown earlier this week to discuss the president's decision. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
