President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met on the sidelines of the G20 summit Friday for more than two hours and discussed the conflicts in Ukraine and Syria as well as fighting terrorism and cyber security, according to Putin.
This marked the first time the two world leaders met, and their meeting lasted 96 minutes longer than the 30 minutes that were originally scheduled.
TASS, a Russian-owned news agency, quoted Putin as saying, “I have had a lengthy conversation with the US president. Loads of questions have accumulated including both Ukraine and Syria along with other issues, some bilateral issues.” While the meeting was still going on, the Associated Press reported that a cease-fire agreement had been reached between Russia and the U.S. in Syria.
Putin added that they discussed “the fight against terrorism and cybersecurity.” Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told reporters that the two leaders had a “robust and lengthy exchange” about alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election. MSNBC reported that Trump brought it up multiple times and that Putin denied that Russia was involved in any hacking operations.
