All eyes were on President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin as they held a sideline talk Friday during the G20 Summit in Germany. The pair first shook hands prior and then during the meeting. Trump commented on his relationship with Putin up until this point: "President Putin and I have been discussing various things, and I think it's going very well. But we look forward to a lot of very positive things happening for Russia, for the United States and for everybody concerned, and It's an honor to be with you." Putin stressed the need for in-person meetings. We have spoken on the phone with you several times on very important bilateral and international issues. But phone conversation are never enough. If we want to resolve bilateral and acute international issues, we definitely need personal meetings. I’m delighted to be able to meet you in person Mr. President and I hope — as you have said — that our meeting will yield positive results.
