Jake Tapper finds out there is no spoon.Trump: Many points were agreed to. And there are just a very few that are left. Some are not that significant. One is probably the most significant, but we have a very good chance of getting there. We didn't get there pic.twitter.com/4s6QkseHit

Tapper: So despite the fact that president Trump called this an extremely productive meeting.. there doesn't seem to have actually been anything achieved, at least according to what the two men just said pic.twitter.com/S1eQg4Plu8

Trump: I will say I believe we had a very productive meeting. There were many, many points that we agreed on… there is no deal until there is a deal

I will call up NATO in a little while. I will call up the is various people that I think are appropriate and I will of course call up President Zelenskyy and tell him about today's meeting. It's ultimately up to them have to agree with what Marco and Steve and some of the great people from the Trump administration who have come here, Scott, John Ratcliffe, thank you very much…
Putin: As I said, the situation in Ukraine has to do with fundamental threats to our security—we're convinced that in order to make the settlement lasting, long-term, we need to eliminate all the primary roots that primary causes of that conflict pic.twitter.com/niAHXQIto7

What agreement? What deal?Baier: However, this joint news conference was anything but. It was not a news conference. There were no questions taken by either leader. There were many yelled by reporters there. But we don't have a sense of what exactly is in this agreement or this deal pic.twitter.com/p8DKFtyuip

For fact's sake: That was not a press conference. There was no serious exchange. No deal. No productive meeting. Donald Trump got totally steamrolled by Putin. That was a debacle. An embarrassment. Total humiliation and weakness.

So Hannity redeemed the “hard news” Fox people:Fox News Reporter Jacqui Heinrich: The way that it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. And it seemed like Putin came in and steamrolled, got right into what he wanted to say and got his photo next to the president and then left pic.twitter.com/eTu4SdfA13

You don't have to be an ex-KGB handler to know how to handle Trump.

Brennan: In the press conference, Putin looked chipper. He looked upbeat. He looked like somebody who was satisfied with the meeting, not as though he was somebody who was given an ultimatum about what's going on in Ukraine. He did look very upbeat.

And Donald Trump, you know,… pic.twitter.com/xAm8ZGaBtI
And Donald Trump, you know, he spoke for a very short period of time. I know people think that it was Putin who didn't want to take questions that might have been the case, but also, I think the American side didn't want to take questions either, because there's no good answers to what has happened. They were making reference to an agreement, but it was nothing at all.
