As the two leaders held talks on the sidelines of the G20 meeting, US President Donald Trump on Friday hailed his “very, very good relationship” with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin. “It’s a great honour to be with President Putin,” said Trump, who last held face-to-face talks with the Russian leader in Helsinki in 2018. “We have a very, very good relationship,” Trump said.
The keenly awaited meeting between the pair has been overshadowed by a probe into Trump’s relations with Russia and the controversy that erupted the last time he held talks with the Kremlin leader.
Asked before travelling to Japan about the planned talks, Trump told reporters the content of the discussions was “none of your business”. “I’ll have a very good conversation with him,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “What I say to him is none of your business.” Trump has been dogged throughout his presidency by allegations of suspicious ties to Russia.
