Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin held a secret meeting at the G20 summit, it has emerged. The White House confirmed the two leaders met for a second, undisclosed meeting in Hamburg, Germany, two weeks ago. The US and Russian presidents held a two-hour meeting on July 7 in which Trump later said Putin denied allegations that he directed efforts to meddle in the 2016 US election.
Trump and Putin first met at the G20 during a gathering of other leaders, which was shown in a video.
They later held the bilateral meeting, which was attended briefly by a pool of reporters.
In the evening, both men attended a dinner with G20 leaders. Putin was seated next to first lady Melania Trump.
The US president went over to them at the conclusion of the dinner and visited with Putin, the official said. That conversation had not been previously disclosed.
“There was no ‘second meeting’ between President Trump and President Putin, just a brief conversation at the end of a dinner. The insinuation that the White House has tried to ‘hide’ a second meeting is false, malicious and absurd,” the official said.
In a tweet late on Tuesday, Trump said: “Fake News story of secret dinner with Putin is “sick.” All G 20 leaders, and spouses, were invited by the Chancellor of Germany. Press knew!”
