Trump and Putin met twice at G20 in Germany | |
(35 minutes later) | |
US President Donald Trump met his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, at a second, previously undisclosed meeting at the G20 in Germany earlier this month, the White House says. | |
The talks were reportedly held during a dinner for heads of state, hours after both presidents had a formal meeting. | |
The White House has not revealed what was discussed. | |
At the formal, two-hour meeting, they discussed Russia's alleged meddling in the US election among other issues. | |
Halfway through the meal at the summit, President Trump left his seat and sat at an empty chair next to Mr Putin, the Washington Post reports. The US president was alone, and Mr Putin was attended only by his official interpreter, reports say. |
