Trump putin met for nearly an hour in second g20 meeting

According to reports, President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin did indeed meet for nearly an hour during the second day of the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan on June 29, 2019.

The meeting was a highly anticipated one, given the ongoing tensions between the two countries over issues such as Ukraine, Syria, and election interference. The two leaders had a private conversation, which was not accompanied by any other officials or translators.

According to a White House readout, the two leaders discussed a range of topics, including trade, arms control, and counter-terrorism. They also touched on the situation in Ukraine and the conflict in Syria.

The meeting was seen as a significant development in the ongoing relationship between the two leaders, who have had a complex and often contentious relationship in the past. Despite the tensions, the two leaders have also shown a willingness to engage with each other and find common ground on certain issues.

It's worth noting that the meeting was not without controversy, with some critics accusing Trump of being too soft on Putin and failing to hold him accountable for Russia's actions. However, the White House maintained that the meeting was a productive one and that the two leaders had a "good conversation".
