Impacts on US-Russia Relations
The summit reflects the apparent decline in US-Russia relations, as the two nations continue to hold clashing geopolitical views. With no resolution to key issues such as Ukraine and ransomware attacks, it's clear that the two nations are increasingly diverging. It remains to be seen how this divergence will impact the global stage.
