Trump to Meet His Russian Counterpart at G20 Summit

United States President, Donald Trump, is to meet his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, for the first time at a G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany.

They have both said they want to repair ties damaged by the crises in Syria and Ukraine, as well as Russia’s alleged meddling in the US election.

Issues such as climate change and international trade which are drawing mass protests are set to dominate the summit.

The G20 or group of twenty is a summit for 19 countries, both developed and developing, plus the European Union.
