By James Masters, CNNUpdated 1:38 PM ET, Tue July 17, 2018London (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."In Finland, which played host to the summit, newspaper Kauppalehti used a soccer analogy in its headline: "Trump 0-1 Putin," along with a photo of Trump holding a soccer ball given to him by the Russian leader. The summit happened a day after the World Cup -- hosted by Russia -- came to an end.Swedish newspaper HBL went with "Putin: Trump is my favorite" above a photo of the Russian leader smiling.In France, Le Monde topped its front page with: "Donald Trump, best of allies with Vladimir Putin."#ALaUne Trump, meilleur allié de Poutine | #CM2018 Le triomphal retour des Bleus | Les députés LRM veulent accélérer sur la PMA
