What happened when Trump met Putin in Alaska?

Newscast, Americast and Ukrainecast join forces to react to the meeting

The first face to face meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin since the war in Ukraine started is over, with Donald Trump saying 鈥渨e didn鈥檛 get there鈥 on a Ukraine deal, or a ceasefire. The meeting lasted three hours, with the US president insisting progress was made, and Putin saying he is 鈥渟incerely interested鈥 in ending the war, but without giving details. The two leaders both addressed the media at the end of the summit, but didn鈥檛 take questions. Sarah was in the room, in Anchorage, Alaska, and was joined by Victoria Derbyshire and Vitaly Shevchenko from Ukrainecast and Adam Fleming for Newcast.
