"Trump flew to Alaska to talk to Putin about Ukraine for less than three hours, after which they held a press conference which went so badly even this Fox News reporter couldn't put a positive spin on it," said Oliver, before playing a clip of a Senior White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich describing "the way it felt in the room" as "not good".

U.S. President Donald Trump said he and Russian President Vladimir Putin did not reach a deal to end Russia’s war in Ukraine after talks in Alaska on Friday, as the two leaders offered scant details on what was discussed but heaped praise on one another.

The Alaska summit between the U.S. and Russian leaders showcased their mutual animosity for the former president.
