La cumbre de Donald Trump y Vladimir Putin en Alaska: ¿Se abre la posibilidad de un encuentro tripartito con Volodimir Zelenski?
Todo está listo en la remota Anchorage, la ciudad más importante del estado de Alaska, para un esperado encuentro entre Donald Trump y Vladimir Putin que se concretará este viernes por la tarde, para avanzar en la paz en Ucrania. Pero, a horas de partir para la reunión, el jefe de la Casa Blanca dijo este jueves que, si las conversaciones van bien en la cumbre, podría haber un cara a cara tripartito con el presidente ucraniano Volodimir Zelenski, e incluso abrió la puerta a la participación de líderes europeos.
El encuentro entre los presidentes Trump y Putin y sus respectivas delegaciones será más de tres años y medio después de la invasión de Moscú a su vecino y se verán las caras en la Base Conjunta Elmendorf-Richardson, en las afueras de Anchorage, en el territorio ártico que Estados Unidos compró a Rusia hace más de un siglo. Comenzará a partir de las 16.30, hora argentina. Habrá una conferencia de prensa luego, se informó.
Será la primera cumbre entre Trump y Putin desde 2018, en Helsinki. Y es el primer viaje del ruso a Estados Unidos desde 2015 para la Asamblea General de la ONU en Nueva York. Debido a que Estados Unidos no es miembro de la Corte Penal Internacional, que en 2023 emitió una orden de arresto contra Putin por acusaciones de crímenes de guerra, no tiene la obligación de arrestarlo.
La reunión será solo entre Putin y Trump, a pesar de los trascendidos iniciales de que el presidente ucraniano Volodimir Zelenski podría participar. El ruso se ha opuesto durante mucho tiempo a un cara a cara con Zelenski, al menos hasta que se alcance con EE.UU. un acuerdo de paz y esté listo para ser firmado. Y Trump aceptó esta condición, que enfurece a Ucrania y sus aliados europeos.
Ellos enfatizaron que la paz no se puede lograr sin la participación de Kiev. Y se lo recordaron a Trump en una videoconferencia el miércoles que organizaron para tratar de garantizar que Ucrania y Europa sean escuchados antes de la cumbre. El jefe de la Casa Blanca les prometió que Ucrania no será marginada.
Antes de partir, este jueves Trump tuvo un gesto concreto para el líder ucraniano y Europa. Después de su encuentro con el ruso, dijo, «nos reuniremos con el presidente Putin, el presidente Zelenski y yo, y quizás traigamos a algunos líderes europeos, o quizás no. No lo sé», explicó ante la prensa en el Salón Oval de la Casa Blanca.
En una entrevista con Fox News agregó luego: «No sé dónde tendremos la segunda reunión, pero tenemos una idea de tres lugares diferentes, e incluiremos la posibilidad, porque sería mucho más fácil, de quedarnos en Alaska».
El mandatario republicano, que describió su futuro encuentro con Putin como “una partida de ajedrez”, insistió en que una cumbre trilateral, que incluiría a Zelenski, solo se producirá si la reunión con el líder ruso va bien. “Solo hay un 25 % de posibilidades de que (la cumbre) no vaya bien”, aventuró, aunque se mostró confiado en que Putin quiere llegar a un «acuerdo».
Si el cara a cara sale mal, dijo Trump, «no llamaré a nadie», ni a Zelenski ni a los europeos, y «volveré a Washington», advirtió. Ante un fracaso, a la Casa Blanca no le quedaría más remedio que implementar sanciones contra Moscú, que a pesar de haber sido anunciadas varias veces no se han implementado, excepto las secundarias impuestas a la India por las compras de petróleo ruso.
Para convencer a Moscú de poner fin a las hostilidades, Trump llega a Alaska con una serie de propuestas: ofrecerá desde la revocación de algunas sanciones hasta la posibilidad de que Rusia acceda a minerales y tierras raras en Alaska y en los territorios ucranianos actualmente ocupados por Moscú.
El Kremlin parece, por el momento, más interesado en los territorios ucranianos y su reconocimiento bajo control ruso. «Habrá un intercambio», reiteró una vez más Trump, sin entrar en detalles y a pesar de la oposición de Kiev y Europa.
El portavoz de la Presidencia rusa, Dmitri Peskov, bajó las expectativas de un acuerdo. Al ser preguntado sobre si los dos mandatarios tienen planeado hablar de un posible canje de territorios entre Rusia y Ucrania para la resolución del conflicto, Peskov respondió que «obviamente se abordarán cuestiones relacionadas con la solución ucraniana». A la vez, aseguró que Putin y Trump no firmarán un acuerdo en Alaska: «No se espera. No se ha preparado nada. Difícilmente puede haber un documento».

CENTCOM commander directed strike against an IRGC headquarters in underground facility: sources
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
High-level sources have informed Fox News that during rescue efforts in Iran after a U.S. fighter jet was shot down, the commander of U.S. Central Command directed an attack against an underground Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps headquarters.
While the airman rescue was going on, CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper directed a strike on an IRGC headquarters in an underground facility near Tehran — it was done with B2 bombers, using Massive Ordnance Penetrators, the same weapon used last year in Operation Midnight Hammer, according to the sources. Fox News is told the headquarters was obliterated.
U.S. military B1 bombers (BONES) dropped a hundred 2,000-pound bombs during the rescue operations to keep Iranians away from the rescue area during the operation, according to a senior U.S. defense official.
A senior military source told Fox News, «we delivered the heat» on the IRGC.
RESCUE EXPERT SAYS MOST DANGEROUS MOMENT COMES AFTER ‘JACKPOT’ CALL IN RECOVERY BEHIND ENEMY LINES

CENTCOM noted in a press release that U.S. forces had rescued two service members after their F-15E was downed.
Fox News was told that the operation took place between the two rescues: Cooper ordered the B2s to fly round trip from Whiteman Air Force Base in the U.S. because they received time-sensitive intelligence about the location of a large number of IRGC commanders inside this underground bunker in Tehran, and the Massive Ordnance Penetrators, bunker buster bombs, were dropped by the B2 warplanes.

Following the rescues, President Donald Trump declared in a Truth Social post, «We have rescued the seriously wounded, and really brave, F-15 Crew Member/Officer, from deep inside the mountains of Iran. The Iranian Military was looking hard, in big numbers, and getting close. He is a highly respected Colonel. This type of raid is seldom attempted because of the danger to ‘man and equipment.’ It just doesn’t happen!»

President Donald Trump touted the «historic» rescue of the downed F-15E airmen behind enemy lines and issued a warning to Iran to make a deal before Tuesday night’s 8 p.m. ET deadline or face being «taken out.»
«This is a rescue that’s very historic,» Trump told the White House press corps in a Monday news conference. «It’ll go down to the books.»
«Late Thursday night, an American F-15 fighter jet went down deep inside enemy territory in Iran while participating in Operation Epic Fury, where we’re doing unbelievably well. Well, at a level that nobody’s ever seen before.»
Trump quickly paused his hailing of the rescue to add a warning for Iran to come to peace.

«The entire country can be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night,» Trump said.
Trump continued to press Iran to come to a peace deal, hours after saying the offers thus far are «not enough,» and War Secretary Pete Hegseth vowed the heaviest bombing of Iran to date.

«By the way, per the president’s direction, [Monday] will be the largest volume of strikes since day one of this operation,» Hegseth vowed, taking the mic just before Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan «Raizin’» Caine.
«Tomorrow, even more than today. And then Iran has a choice,» Hegseth added. «Choose wisely, because this president does not play around. You can ask Soleimani, you can ask Maduro. You can ask Khamenei.»
Trump, responding to a question from Fox News, noted there were military leaders warning against the dangerous exfiltration of the two airmen, citing the risks to a multitude of troops.
«There were military people, very professional, that preferred not doing it: These two were totally on board, which was very important,» Trump said, noting Hegseth and Gen. Caine.

«But, no, there were military people that said, ‘You just don’t do this; you don’t go into the heart of a very powerful military.»
Trump noted that «half the people are wearing uniforms» in Iran, exacerbating the challenges of extracting the American airmen.
«I was surprised somebody said it’s the only time it’s ever been done,» Trump continued. «I said, that’s not possible, but it is possible because you’re going into hundreds of thousands of soldiers along the path. I mean, look at some of the helicopters, how they got hit.»
Trump, in a moment that went from serious to lighter, asked Caine «how many» people conducted the rescue.

«I’d love to keep that a secret,» Caine shot back.
«I’ll keep it a secret, but it was hundreds and hundreds of these people,» Trump said.
«Hundreds of people went into this journey. Hundreds of people could have been killed. Forget about the equipment. A lot of equipment. Nobody cares of it. Hundreds of people could have been killed,» Trump added.
«So we had people that were within the military that said, ‘This is not a wise move,’» Trump said.
«And I understood that, but I decided to do it.»

For now, Tuesday night’s 8 p.m. ET deadline looms for Iran to make a deal to Trump’s satisfaction.
«I can’t talk about ceasefire, but I can tell you that we have an active, willing participant on the other side,» Trump said, acknowledging Iran has been «excellent negotiators» because they have been able to delay peace for decades. «They would like to be able to make a deal. I can’t say any more than that.»
«I can tell you they’re negotiating, we think, in good faith,» Trump said. «We’re going to find out. We’re getting the help of some incredible countries that want this to be ended, because it affects them.

The «plan,» short of an imminent peace deal, Trump expounded, would be devastating for a country that would require a century to rebuild.
«We have a plan, because of the power of our military, where every bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12 tomorrow night, where every power plant in Iran will be out of business, burning, exploding, and never to be used again,» Trump vowed. «I mean, complete demolition by 12, and it’ll happen over a period of four hours if we wanted to. «We don’t want that to happen.»

«So do I want to do that? No. Do I want to destroy their infrastructure? No,» Trump concluded. «It will take them 100 years to rebuild. Right now, if we left today, it would take them 20 years to rebuild their country. And it would never be as good as it was. And the only way they’re going to be able to rebuild their country is to utilize the genius of the United States of America.»
