- Trump stated that during the meeting, plans were made for European nations to offer security assurances to Ukraine in collaboration with the United States, a development NATO Secretary-General Rutte described as a significant breakthrough.
- The talks laid groundwork for a trilateral meeting including Trump, Putin, and Zelenskyy, signaling possible progress but with unresolved challenges, as Russia rejected NATO peacekeepers and Trump stopped short of U.S. troop commitments.
