In a summit meeting marked by red carpets, handshakes and military flyovers, President Vladimir Putin made his first trip to the United States in a decade and was greeted warmly by President Donald Trump.

Trump has long boasted that he’s gotten along well with Putin, even praising him as “pretty smart” for invading Ukraine. But now he wants a cease-fire.
