Trump & Putin start meeting in Hamburg at odds on most issues
Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin met for the first time in Hamburg Friday, an event formally on the sidelines of the G 20 summit which grabbed center stage. Only six people are present. Trump and secretary of state Rex Tillerson, Ptuin and Foreign Miniser Sergey Lavrov and two interpreters. Aside from the long list of issues, such as Syria, Ukraine, sanctions, the US missile defense system in E. Europe and alleged Russian meddling in the US election, no word has been leaked so far about the agenda of the carefully choreographed encounter.
