Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin gave an astonishing press conference after their big summit in Helsinki.

We're joined by Gorana Grgic, a lecturer in US politics and foreign policy at the US Studies Centre and the Department of Government and International Relations at the University of Sydney, and Emma Shortis, a research officer at the RMIT University European Union Centre.
