Donald Trump tonight damped down hopes that his summit in Alaska with President Putin, could bring about a ceasefire in Ukraine.
In a radio interview with Fox News, he said there was what he called a "25 per cent chance" that tomorrow’s talks would fail.
At the same time, Vladimir Putin was praising President Trump’s peace efforts.
