U.S. President Donald Trump set the bar low for the high-stakes meeting with his Russian counterpart in Alaska — and it became apparent why late Friday as things wrapped up with little more than a commitment to meet again.

The PMO said the two leaders also touched upon a number of issues of bilateral cooperation with a view to further strengthen the Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership between India and Russia.

If Vladimir Putin left his Alaska meeting with Donald Trump feeling like he had the upper hand, that impression must have quickly dissipated as the president hosted the leaders of Ukraine, France, Britain, Italy, Germany, Finland, the European Union and NATO at an extraordinary White House summit.
