President Donald Trump revealed on social media the “peace letter” written by First Lady Melania Trump and hand-delivered to Russian President Vladimir Putin during their summit in Alaska on Friday.
In the letter, the first lady urged global leaders to prioritize the protection of children, calling it “time” to safeguard future generations.
“Every child shares the same quiet dreams in their heart, whether born randomly into a nation’s rustic countryside or a magnificent city-center. They dream of love, possibility, and safety from danger,” she wrote.
Melania Trump emphasized that children are born innocent, regardless of nationality or ideology:
“A simple yet profound concept, Mr. Putin, as I am sure you agree, is that each generation’s descendants begin their lives with a purity — an innocence which stands above geography, government, and ideology.”
She described children’s resilience as a “silent defiance against the forces that can potentially claim their future,” and argued that protecting them would benefit not only Russia but all humanity.
“Such a bold idea transcends all human division, and you, Mr. Putin, are fit to implement this vision with a stroke of the pen today,” the letter concluded. The first lady signed off with the phrase: “It is time.”
The letter, first obtained by Fox News Digital, comes amid heightened diplomatic tensions over the war in Ukraine. While the Alaska summit between Trump and Putin ended without a ceasefire agreement, the first lady’s symbolic message was intended to frame the talks within a broader humanitarian context.
Would you like me to make this rewrite more neutral and newswire-style (like Reuters/AP), or more feature-style (human interest tone highlighting Melania’s role and phrasing)?
