US President Donald Trump called his meeting with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin “extremely productive” but indicated that a deal to end the war had still not been finalized, adding that he would speak to NATO allies and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
“There’s no deal until there’s a deal,” Trump said Friday in Anchorage, Alaska as he stood alongside Putin for a joint event.
The event followed the longest ever face-to-face meeting between the two leaders. But despite their extended conversation neither leader provided clear details on their discussion or on where they found common ground, a move that will likely intensify anxiety in European capitals and in Kyiv about an agreement that sidelines their input.
