🤝 What They Talked About

• Ukraine War: Trump tried to convince Putin to agree to a ceasefire. There were rumors about a land deal, but Trump denied it.
• Economic Pressure: Trump warned Putin that the U.S. would hurt Russia’s economy if peace talks failed. He had already punished India with tariffs for buying Russian oil.
• Melania’s Letter: Trump gave Putin a personal letter from Melania Trump. It asked Russia to return Ukrainian children taken during the war.

🧩 What Was the Result?

No peace deal was signed. Trump said they were close, but one big issue was still unresolved. Putin said he wanted better relations but didn’t change his stance on Ukraine.

🗣️ How People Reacted

• Some U.S. media said Putin dominated the meeting and press conference.
• Reporters weren’t allowed to ask questions, which made people wonder what was really said behind closed doors.

📝 Final Thought

This summit showed how hard peace talks can be—even when leaders meet directly. It also raised questions about who gets invited, who gets left out, and how much personal charm can really change global conflicts.
