Trump emerged today from his summit with Russia’s Vladimir Putin without a deal and without much to say.

Trump rarely misses a chance to take advantage of a global stage.

But when he stood next to Putin at the conclusion of their three-hour meeting,
Trump offered few details about what the men had discussed.

Stunningly, for a president who loves a press conference,
he took no questions from the reporters assembled at a military base in Alaska.

In his brief remarks, Trump conceded that he and Putin had not reached a deal to end the war in Ukraine
or even pause the fighting.

“There’s no deal until there’s a deal,”
the president said.

He characterized their three-hour meeting
—vaguely
—as “very productive.”

Of the outstanding issues between the two sides,
he admitted that
“one is probably significant,”
but he didn’t say what that was.
