Putt press conference: Trump says no deal with Putin on "most important" aspects

On August 16, < b > US President Donald Trump said at a joint news conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin that he and Putin did not agree on "probably the most important aspects" during their meeting, but there is a good chance of agreement. "We agreed on a lot of issues," he said. "There are very few points left. Some are not that important. One of them may be the most important, but we have a good chance of achieving that goal. We haven't done that yet, but we have a good chance of doing it." He will later call Ukrainian President Zelensky and NATO leaders and some people he sees fit to brief on the meeting. Trump expressed the hope that the US and Russia will have a good and productive meeting in the future, and is expected to meet again with Putin soon. < b > Russian President Putin said that the talks with US President Trump were constructive, and we have established a very good direct contact with Trump. We sincerely hope to end the conflict, but all root causes must be eliminated, and all Russian concerns must be taken into account. Thanks to Trump for his cooperation and friendly attitude to talk. Expect that Ukraine and Europe will not try to sabotage the talks. Russia-US investment cooperation has great potential. We hope that today's agreement can be the starting point for the restoration of Russia-US relations. If Trump were the US president a few years ago, there would have been no conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The next meeting with Trump may be in Moscow.
