TechFlow news, on August 16, according to Jinshi Data, U.S. President Trump said at a joint press conference with Russian President Putin that he and Putin did not reach agreement on "what might be the most important aspect" during their meeting, but there is a strong possibility of reaching consensus. He said: "We agreed on many issues. Only a few points remain. Some are not so important. One of them might be the most important, but we have a high chance of achieving it. We haven't done it yet, but we very likely will." He added that later he would call Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, NATO leaders, and some others he deemed appropriate to brief them on the meeting.
Trump expressed hope for future constructive and productive meetings between the U.S. and Russia, and expected to meet Putin again soon. Russian President Putin stated that the talks with U.S. President Trump were constructive, and that they had established excellent direct communication. "We sincerely hope to end the conflict, but all root causes must be eliminated and all of Russia's concerns must be taken into account," he said. He thanked Trump for his cooperative and friendly attitude in discussions, and expressed hope that Ukraine and Europe would not attempt to undermine the talks. Russo-American investment cooperation holds great potential. "We hope today's agreement can become a starting point for restoring relations between Russia and the United States. If Trump had been U.S. president a few years ago, the Russia-Ukraine conflict would not have happened." The next meeting with Trump could take place in Moscow.
