After an abrupt ending to three hours of talks with aides, Trump and Putin offered warm words but took no questions from reporters.
Trump described the meeting “extremely productive” with “many points” agreed.
Although, he did not offer specifics.
Putin also spoke in general terms of cooperation in a joint press appearance that lasted 12 minutes.
He expressed hope that the understanding they have reached will pave the way for peace in Ukraine.
Putin told Trump he agreed with him that the Ukraine war, which Putin ordered, would not have happened if Trump were president instead of Joe Biden.
