US President Donald Trump said he had an "extremely productive meeting" with Russian president Vladimir Putin, but no ceasefire deal for Ukraine was reached.
"We had an extremely productive meeting, and many points were agreed to. There are very few that are left. Some are not that significant, one is probably the most significant, but we have a very good chance of getting there. There’s no deal until there's a deal,” he said.
Trump added that during the talks with Putin, they had agreed on many points.
"There were many, many points that we agreed on," he says, "I would say a couple of big ones, but we haven't quite got there, we've made some headway."
