By Peter Nicholas, Megan Shannon and Monica Alba
Anchorage, Alaska – President Donald Trump and his collaborators intensify a public campaign to award the Nobel Peace Prize before a high challenges summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Now comes his best blow. Tomorrow, Trump will fly to Alaska for a seated with Putin aimed at putting an end to war with Ukraine. The chances of a breakthrough are difficult, but if Trump warns a truce to terms that are just for Ukraine, it would be a diplomatic triumph that has escaped the presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

The CEO in chief: how Trump gets what he wants from large companies
By Rob Wile and Allan Smith
For years, conservative groups and business leaders have argued that the US government would be better if it was managed as a business.
For President Donald Trump, who has controlled his own businesses for decades, which looks like an increasingly active role in the individual business affairs, from manufacturing to the media, including technological companies.
And societies respond to the requests of a president who exercises his powers more freely than the last time he was in power. At Trump’s request, Coca-Cola said that she would produce a version of her homonymous soda with cane sugar cultivated in the United States. Paramount paid millions to settle the allegations that Trump has taken from the “60 minutes” revered by CBS of CBS. Two major semiconductor manufacturers have agreed to give the government a reduction in their sales in China. Intel CEO met Trump shortly after Trump called him to resign.
“It is so different from the first mandate,” said a republican lobbyist whose company represents several fortune companies 500, who spoke under the guise of anonymity to speak frankly. “He acts just as a businessman. In his first mandate, I think he was trying to cosplay as a politician. He is more comfortable in his skin too. He can explain the offers better.”
The role of Trump represents a break with previous administrations which may have been reluctant or incapable, politically, to exert pressure similar to companies. In the past, the conservatives of small governments have accused the previous democratic administrations of having tried to “choose the winners and the losers” by trying to regulate the industries. Trump is today downstream of a more daring right movement which calls for increased state intervention in corporate affairs.
