1. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Trump, U.S. President: ++STARTS ON WIDE SHOT WITH TRUMP LOOKING AT PUTIN++
"And I will say that I believe we had a very productive meeting. There were many, many points that we agreed on, most of them I would say. A couple of big ones that we haven’t quite got there but we have made some headway. So, there is no deal until there is a deal. I will call up NATO in a little while. I will call up the various people that I think are appropriate and I will of course call up President Zelenskyy and tell him about today’s meeting. It’s ultimately up to them."

"But we had an extremely productive meeting and many points were agreed to. There are just a very few that are left. Some are not that significant. One is probably the most significant.

7. Wide, two leaders shake hands ignoring reporters questions
STORYLINE:
President Donald Trump and Russia’s Vladimir Putin said they reached an understanding on ending the war in Ukraine after meeting for about 2 1/2 hours on Friday in Alaska, but offered no details on what they agreed and left without answering questions.
In brief remarks, Putin said the pair had hammered out an “understanding” on Ukraine and warned Europe not to “torpedo the nascent progress.”
Speaking moments later, Trump said he’d yet to speak with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy but that he’d be speaking to him and European leaders soon.
He suggested there hasn’t been a deal yet. Putin suggests in English that their next meeting could be held in Moscow.
