- Michael Wolff quoted a close aide saying, "We got nothing out of this," while Trump called the outcome "very productive," reflecting mixed views.
- The inconclusive meeting suggests Putin maintained his hardline stance, and a follow-up summit is planned for late September or early October in Moscow.
