The meeting appeared to be an attempt by Trump to divert attention from negative media coverage surrounding the Epstein files. Post-meeting, Putin made vague statements about solving the conflict's 'root' causes, while Trump suggested Ukraine should accept a deal from Putin, despite strong disapproval from Ukrainian and European leaders who promptly visited Washington following the summit. The summit was criticized as unproductive and poorly conceived.
