"NO DEAL .... but we made great progress," -- sheer consolation prize and face saver for Donald Trump.
Donald Trump left more questions than answers as he fawned over Vladimir Putin but gave precious few details about their high stakes summit.
“I believe we had a very productive meeting,” he said. “There were many, many points that we agreed on... There’s no deal until there’s a deal. I will call up Nato...
I’ll of course call up President Zelenskyy and tell him about today’s meeting... We really made some great progress.”
He added: “I’ve always had a fantastic relationship with President Putin – with Vladimir... We were interfered with by the ‘Russia Russia Russia’ hoax.”
Trump warmly thanked Putin, who invited him to Moscow, and dozens of reporters shouted questions but in vain.
The US president, who can typically never resist talking and talking, left the stage without answering any of them.
Trump-Putin news conference abruptly ends with no questions from reporters and no details of agreement
Donald Trump ended his brief remarks at the joint news conference by thanking Vladimir Putin, and saying that they would speak again soon.
“Next time in Moscow”, Putin replied in English.
Trump then called the news conference to an end without taking any questions from the assembled reporters, or offering any details of what Putin called the agreement they had reached in their three hours of talks.
