'There would have been no Ukraine war, had…': Putin endorses Trump's claim, invites him to Moscow
With handshakes and a red carpet, President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin met for an hours-long summit that Trump hoped would lead to a resolution of the three-year Ukraine war. Putin said after the meeting that they had reached a deal, but Trump said the two sides were not there yet. "There is no deal until there is a deal," he said at a press conference with Putin. "We're going to try and get this over with." Trump said he had always had a good relationship with "Vladimir," despite some tough meetings in over the years. But there was more work to be done on reaching an agreement on the war.
