US President Donald Trump has left Alaska without a deal to end the war in Ukraine, following a high-stakes meeting with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. "There's no deal until there's a deal," Trump told the world's media following the meeting,

After stepping off Air Force One, Trump applauded as Putin approached along a red carpet laid out for each leader.

President Donald Trump said on Thursday he thinks Russian President Vladimir Putin will make a deal and that threats of sanctions against Russia probably played a role in Moscow seeking a meeting. Trump in an interview on Fox News radio also said he has three locations in mind for a follow-up meeting with Putin and Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

President Donald Trump's highly anticipated one-on-one summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin marks his latest effort at securing a peace deal over Ukraine, a priority in his second term. The meeting comes after a string of deals and agreements the White House said Trump has helped broker globally that should earn him something the president has long desired -- a Nobel Peace Prize.

President Trump said that he would hold off on imposing new sanctions on Russia. “We don't have to think about that right now,” Trump said during a Fox News interview Friday night after his summit with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
