“In short, I’m going to make a few phone calls and tell them what happened, but we held an extremely productive meeting and agreed on many issues. There are only a few of them. Some of them are not so important. One, perhaps the most important,” Trump added, not specifying what exactly means.
His statement for the media lasted less than five minutes (Putin was more verbose). There were no answers to the questions of journalists. Trump and Putin shook hands and retired.
After that, the Kremlin announced the completion of the negotiations of the Russian Federation and the USA in Anchorage. Thus, the meeting ended earlier than planned in Moscow: Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that negotiations in several different formats might need “six to seven hours” and according to this plan the summit was supposed to continue until 4.00 August 16 in Kyiv.
