Donald Trump Held Second Secret Meeting With Putin During G-20
BREAKING… They had a secret meeting!
Donald Trump held a second meeting with Vladimir Putin during the G-20 summit. The meeting between Trump and Putin was previously undisclosed by the White House.
The meeting included just Trump and Putin (and Putin’s translator).
According to reports, the meeting lasted about an hour.
Bremmer told Charlie Rose in an interview for Bloomberg that the rapport that Donald Trump established with Putin during the summit is “clearly his best personal relationship” with a G-20 leader.
“Never in my life as a political scientist have I seen two countries — major countries — with a constellation of national interests that are as dissonant, while the two leaders seem to be doing everything possible to make nice and be close to each other,” he said.
The revelation of the secret meeting between Trump and Putin came from Ian Bremmer, the president of the international consulting firm Eurasia Group, who told Charlie Rose.
The obivous next question is why did the Trump White House note disclouse the second meeting with Putin.
