Kremlin: Trump and Putin did not have a secret G20 meeting

MOSCOW - The Kremlin said on Thursday that US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin did not have "a secret meeting" at the G20 summit earlier this month, but confirmed they did chat informally over dinner.

 

The Kremlin was responding to questions about a previously undisclosed conversation between Trump and Putin that caused alarm among some US politicians unhappy about Trump's handling of US-Russia relations.

 

When asked about the nature of the G20 dinner chat, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a conference call with reporters: "There was no secret second meeting."

 

The two men had chatted informally over dinner, said Peskov, and had discussed adoption.
