Sen. Van Hollen on Alaska Summit: There’s No Sugar Coating This, Trump, Once Again, Got Played by Putin

‘Vladimir Putin got the red-carpet treatment on American soil. But we got no ceasefire’

EXCERPT:

VAN HOLLEN: “Donald Trump, once again, got played by Vladimir Putin. Vladimir Putin got the red carpet treatment on American soil. But we got no ceasefire, no imminent meeting between Putin and Zelenskyy. All the threat and sanctions that, you know, Donald Trump talked about apparently have been set aside. Donald Trump got flattered by Vladimir Putin. But when it comes to Ukraine and our European allies, this was a set-back. I do believe that Congress now, the Senate in particular, should move forward on bipartisan legislation that has over 60 Senators as co-sponsors that would impose sanctions on Russia and Vladimir Putin.”
