President Trump reveals whether another meeting is in the cards after Alaska summit with Putin

President Donald Trump discusses how his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin went and what’s next in peace negotiations and more in an exclusive interview on ‘Hannity.’

President Donald Trump rated his closely-watched summit Friday with Russian President Vladimir Putin a "10" out of 10 and touted "very good progress" in the road to peace in Ukraine, but said "there's no deal until there's a deal," in an exclusive interview on "Hannity."

"I can tell you, the meeting was a very warm meeting," President Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity. "You know, he’s a strong guy, he’s tough as hell on all of that, but the meeting was a very warm meeting between two very important countries, and it’s very good when they get along. I think we’re pretty close to a deal. Now look, Ukraine has to agree to it."

The two world leaders gathered in Alaska on Friday afternoon in hopes of peacefully working towards an end to the war in Ukraine. On Air Force One, President Trump said he was meeting with the Russian leader to "save a lot of lives" and expressed hopes for a ceasefire in the future. The commander-in-chief later reported the summit was "extremely productive," but that they were "not there yet" on ending the conflict.
