Trump reveals 10 striking takeaways from Putin summit in Hannity interview

Here are the key takeaways from Trump's highly anticipated meeting with the Russian leader as shared with Hannity. 

Trump told Hannity that "as far as I'm concerned, there's no deal until there's a deal." He noted, however, that "we did make a lot of progress."

Pressed by Hannity to share what the "one big issue you don't agree on" that kept the leaders from walking away with a ceasefire deal, Trump declined to share. He said, "No, I'd rather not. I guess somebody's going to go public with it, they'll figure it out, but no, I don't want to do that, I want to see if we can get it done." 

He added, "I'll be there." 

Trump said that he would rate the meeting a 10 out of 10, saying, "I think the meeting was a 10 in the sense that we got along great." 

Asked what he thought finally brought Putin to the negotiating table, Trump answered, "I don't want to say anything brought him, he's a very smart guy, nothing brought him to the table, so to speak." 

Trump also commented that he "was so happy" that Putin shared his belief during their joint press conference that the Russia-Ukraine war would have never happened had he been in office at the time. 

Without hesitating, Trump said that his advice to Zelenskyy after Friday's meeting with Putin would be "make a deal."
