John King: Call this the 'surrender summit'
Brennan on Trump's performance: Treasonous
London (CNN)Newspapers around the world ran different photographs of the same scene on their front pages on Tuesday morning -- US President Donald Trump and Russia's President Vladimir Putin standing side-by-side at a news conference following their two-hour meeting in Helsinki, Finland.
Trump declined to endorse the US government's assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 US presidential election, instead publicly embracing Putin's "extremely strong and powerful" denial.
The morning after in the UK, the Daily Mirror tabloid newspaper ran coverage of the summit on its front page, labeling Trump "Putin's poodle" and quoting former CIA Director and career intelligence officer John Brennan who described the US President's performance as "nothing short of treasonous."
