Who is the biggest winner, Trump or Putin
This morning Beijing time
After nearly 3 hours of
private and small group talks
Trump and Putin jointly met with reporters
Trump stated
The talks were highly constructive
Significant progress was made
However, no agreements were reached
He said there's no deal until there's a deal
Currently, there is no agreement
But there will eventually be an agreement
It is worth noting
Both Trump and Putin stated
Their goal is to normalize US-Russia relations
And mentioned they will meet again
Putin even invited Trump
For the next meeting
To be held in Moscow
Trump did not express opposition
The initial personal observation is
Both sides got what they needed
However, Putin seems to have won more
Trump gained the spotlight and sensational effect
What he needs to do next
Is to make a few calls to NATO and Zelensky
As for Putin
There is no deadline for a ceasefire in Ukraine
No pressure from further US sanctions
On the contrary, it is Trump
Who has some sort of promise for the normalization of US-Russia relations
In response, Trump's former National Security Advisor Bolton said
Trump did not lose
But Putin won more
Moving forward
