White House reveals additional Trump-Putin discussion

WASHINGTON, July 19 (APP/AFP) – Donald Trump and
Vladimir Putin had an additional, previously undisclosed chat at this month’s G20 summit in Hamburg, the White House acknowledged on Tuesday.
After a brief greeting at the start of the two-day summit and a
two-hour bilateral meeting with their foreign ministers on July 7, Trump and Putin also chatted over dinner on the final night of the summit, an official said.
“There was a couples-only social dinner at the G20,” a White House
official told AFP. “Toward the end, the president spoke to Putin at the dinner.”
The disclosure has raised questions about what the pair talked about,
who was present and why the meeting was not previously disclosed.
