Donald Trump left more questions than answers on Friday as he claimed “great progress” in his high-stakes summit with Vladimir Putin but said that no deal had been reached to end Russia’s war on Ukraine.
“I believe we had a very productive meeting,” the US president said at a joint press conference in Anchorage, Alaska. “There were many, many points that we agreed on.”
But, Trump cautioned: “There’s no deal until there’s a deal. I will call up Nato ... I’ll of course call up [Ukraine’s] President Zelenskyy and tell him about today’s meeting.”
The two leaders lavished praise on each other but offered no details of the nearly three-hour meeting and took no questions from reporters.
Putin, speaking through an interpreter, described Trump’s efforts on Ukraine as “precious” and, suggested the two leaders had hammered out “an understanding”. He urged Europe to “not throw a wrench in the works” and “not use backroom dealings” to torpedo it.
