Donald Trump’s much-anticipated meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin achieved very little in terms of actually delivering peace in the long-gestating border war with Ukraine. And unfortunately for the president, he already had a pre-scheduled interview with Sean Hannity despite having nothing of substance to share about the meeting.
Trump started the interview with Fox News with surprisingly low energy and said he regretted already agreeing to the interview. But still, he chose to insist the meeting with Putin “went really well.” As of this moment, it’s hard to actually know the specifics of the meeting because, contrary to Trump’s previous affinity for doing even volatile meetings in front of the press — this meeting occurred for 3 hours behind closed doors, and the closing press conference lasted just a little over 10 minutes.
