Putin, Trump Meet For First Time At G-20 Summit In Germany
July 7, 2017


President Trump's first official meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin opened with a warm handshake, a back pat and no mention that the U.S. intelligence community concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election.

"President Putin and I have been discussing various things and I think it's going very well. We've had some very, very good talks," Trump told reporters before the meeting. "We're going to have a talk now and obviously that will continue, but we look forward to a lot of very positive things happening — for Russia, for the United States, and for everybody concerned. And it's an honor to be with you."

The two men were scheduled for a 30-minute meeting on the sidelines of the Group of 20 Summit in Hamburg, Germany, but ended up talking for roughly 2 1/2 hours.

Beforehand, Putin mentioned that they have talked already a few times over the phone.

"But phone conversation is never enough," he said through a translator. "If we want to have positive results in bilaterals and be able to resolve most acute international topics and issues, definitely we need personal meetings.

"And I'm delighted to be able to meet you personally Mr. President and I hope, as you have said, our meeting will yield positive results for Russia and the U.S."

President Trump today pressed Vladimir Putin on Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. elections at their face-to-face meeting during the G-20 summit meeting, which the Russian president denied, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said.

"The president opened the meeting by raising the concerns of the American people regarding Russian interference in 2016 election. Putin denied such involvement as he has done in the past," Tillerson said during an off-camera briefing today in Hamburg, Germany. "The two leaders agreed this is of substantial hindrance. They agreed to exchange further work regarding commitments of noninterference in the affairs of the U.S. and our democratic process as well as other countries.”

Tillerson added that both presidents acknowledged the "interference in the democratic processes" in the United States and other countries and that they would "create a framework" to deal with such cyberthreats and how those tools are used in infrastructure and terrorism.

Putin and Trump's meeting lasted about two hours and 15 minutes -- far longer than the planned 30-minute duration -- and Tillerson said the meeting was "very constructive" with both leaders possessing a "positive chemistry" and not "relegating" often to one another.

Seems to say that it wasn't Putin personally but there was interference.

Luckily we have the actual audio of what he said right here. What they were acknowledging was that hacking is a problem, and they want to work together on cyber threats.

TILLERSON: ‘Maybe Russia has the right approach to Syria and maybe the US has the wrong approach’ (http://theduran.com/tillerson-maybe-russia-has-the-right-approach-to-syria-and-maybe-the-us-got-it-wrong/)

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson admits that Russia may have a better approach to Syria and the US.
He also said that the US and Russia have the same overall goals in Syria.

Rex Tillerson has given an audio interview to reporters after the lengthy meeting
between Presidents Trump and Putin which both Tillerson and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov attended.

Tillerson spoke of how after getting to know one another, Trump and Putin
became immersed in a thoroughly engaging conversation.

Tillerson gave the following description of why the meeting lasted so long,

“…There was so much to talk about, all these issues, just about everything got touched on…
there was just such a level of engagement and exchange that neither one of them (Trump and Putin) wanted to stop”.

Tillerson continued saying that Melania Trump was sent in at one point to try and get the leaders to conclude their meeting,

“They sent in the first lady to see if she could get us out of there….
we went another hour after she came to see us, so clearly she failed (to get the leaders to hurry up)”.

Tillerson stated that the bulk of the meeting covered Syria where he said that Russia and the US
have the same objectives in Syria but with different views on how to achieve them.
He said, that there is

“…more commonality than differences in Syria…maybe they’ve got the right approach and maybe we’ve got the wrong approach”.

This is something of a startling admission from a US Secretary of State. Tillerson
who has met with Putin when he was a businessman seemed to think that the leaders
had a very productive meeting in spite of difficult circumstances.

Now listen to Rex Tillerson describe the meeting in his own words.

Neocon media must be frothing at the mouth. Even those in the Trump cabinet.

They sent out their favorite attack dog McCain this morning. He was on Face the Nation, getting emotional and attacking Tillerson.
