On Syria crisis, they agreed that the two countries should cooperate, but failed to reach any concrete details.
"As we have discussed, the crisis in Syria is a complex one. But our cooperation between the two countries has the potential to save hundreds of thousands of lives," said Trump.
Putin called on the United States to work together to resolve the Syrian conflict, saying "Russia and the U.S. can take the lead on this issue in this country and work together to overcome the humanitarian crisis."
Putin said both countries considered it "necessary" to further work together on many issues, including extension of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, the dangerous situation surrounding the development of elements of the global system of American missile defense, and the implementation of the Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles as well as avoiding weapons being placed in space.
No progress was made towards a joint stance on Crimea. Putin said the U.S. leader's stance on Crimea was "well-known" and said Trump "continues to maintain that it was illegal to annex it."
"Our viewpoint is different," Putin concluded.
"Today's meeting is only the beginning of a longer process, but we have taken the first steps towards a brighter future," Trump said.
"Of course, numerous problems remain, and we could not clear all the debris," said Putin.
