The meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Alaska sparked extensive discussions in the international media. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Journalists paid attention to the applause created for the American president, the red carpet, the joint movement in the presidential limousine, and the unexpected silence of the White House leader. At the same time, European publications expressed critical views on the ceremonial reception of the Russian leader. According to The New York Times, the Russian leader's visit was conducted in an official and ceremonial manner. There were ceremonies such as a military air parade, red carpet, official handshakes, and traveling in the presidential limousine. Trump welcomed Putin with applause. The publication also noted that Putin communicated fluently in English and did not have an interpreter by his side. This may have increased the level of confidentiality in the conversations between the two leaders. CNN highlighted Trump's rare silence at the beginning of the meeting. At the Elmendorf-Richardson joint military base, the two leaders sat silently without saying any opening remarks. The channel reported that European leaders strongly criticized the ceremonial attitude shown to Putin. At the same time, the summit atmosphere was assessed as formal but far from cold. Reuters described the meeting environment as warm and sincere. Trump and Putin greeted each other like longtime friends, showing sincere relations with a handshake. NBC noted that after the meeting, Putin chose not to get into his Aurus car but instead opted for Trump's Cadillac limousine. This action highlights a distinctive difference in the Russian leader's relations with the American president. The channel also emphasized the contrast between Trump's warm attitude towards Putin and his sharp stance towards Zelensky in February. Bloomberg covered the details of the meeting, noting that the event was a major test for American intelligence services. Trump was the first to step down wearing a red tie, Putin walked confidently and shook hands with a smile, and Trump welcomed him with applause. Later, Putin got into the American president's armored limousine, which was a real challenge for the security forces. The agency emphasized that this meeting was a clash of different diplomatic styles: Putin favors strategic patience and control, while Trump focuses on quick victories and personal interests. Sky News evaluated the summit as a reward for Putin. In their opinion, Trump received the Russian leader on a state visit level instead of imposing sanctions. Germany's Bild newspaper criticized the American president for applauding Putin and laying out a red carpet in his honor. Britain's The Guardian highlighted that the summit was beneficial for both leaders. Putin had the opportunity to meet Trump on American soil, and Trump presented himself as a statesman on the world stage. The meeting can be considered a success for both. In conclusion, the results of the Alaska summit were assessed differently. While the American press described the relations as sincere, European media viewed Putin's ceremonial reception with suspicion. Nevertheless, this meeting attracted significant attention and debates in world politics.

An important project is being implemented in the livestock sector of Uzbekistan. This was reported by Zamin.uz. It is planned to import 100,000 heads of pedigree sheep from Mongolia, with the initial thousand heads already delivered to our country. This was announced by the Committee for Veterinary and Livestock Development on August 16. Within the framework of the visit of the Committee chairman Bahrom Norqobilov to Mongolia, one thousand "Bayad" breed sheep were sent to Uzbekistan by air transport.

According to the plan, by the end of October, another 50,000 heads will be brought in on 60 flights, and in November and December, another 50,000 heads of sheep will be imported. Thus, by the end of 2025, a total of 100,000 heads of pedigree sheep are planned to enter our country. During the negotiations, a number of agreements were reached with the Deputy Prime Minister of Mongolia, S. Amarsaikhan. Among them, the reduction of the state duty on the export of sheep and goats from 18 dollars to 7 dollars will serve to increase the economic efficiency of the project. In accordance with the presidential decree, in 2025–2026, Uzbekistan and Mongolia will develop cooperation in a number of priority areas in agriculture and food sectors. These include establishing breeding and selection work based on small ruminants, increasing their number to one million heads by 2029, gradually developing wool and cashmere processing and finished product manufacturing, annually increasing the volume of fruit, vegetable, and food product exports to the Mongolian market, establishing a system for experience exchange and specialist skill improvement between the two countries. In addition, the state has provided a number of benefits to business entities. In particular, from August 1, 2025, to December 31, 2027, 50 percent of air transport costs will be reimbursed from the state budget when importing sheep and goats from Mongolia. Experts emphasize that this cooperation will not only develop local livestock farming but also help bring Uzbekistan's agricultural potential to a new level. Mongolia's qualified pedigree sheep will make a significant contribution to increasing purebred livestock and improving product quality in the country.
