Ahead of Donald Trump’s summit with Vladimir Putin in Alaska, Alaska Democratic Party Chair Eric Croft released the following statement: 

“Trump promised on day one that he would negotiate a ceasefire in Ukraine. Instead, with the help of Senator Dan Sullivan and Representative Nick Begich, he decided to spend his time handing out tax giveaways to millionaires and billionaires, and gutting funding for health care, food assistance, and life-saving emergency alerts. Now, over 200 days into his term, Trump has finally decided to call for peace in Ukraine. But, he’s doing so without Ukrainian representation at the table, which is frankly alarming. The Alaska Democratic Party is calling on Trump to finally uphold his unfulfilled promises of negotiating a ceasefire in Ukraine, lowering costs for working families, and focusing on America.”
