2017: First meeting was to be 30 minutes, but 2.15 hours
There have been many meetings between US President Trump and Russian President Putin so far. Most of these meetings took place between 2017 and 2021 during the first term of US President Trump. The situation was something else then. The war between Russia and Ukraine was also not going on. The first meeting of the heads of the two countries took place on 7 July 2017 in Hamburg, Germany.
This was the first formal meeting of the two leaders during the G20 summit. Although this meeting was fixed for 30 minutes, it lasted about 2:15 hours. In this meeting, there was a discussion about Ukraine and Syria, then the issue of Russia’s intervention in the US presidential election in 2016 was also raised.
During this discussion, Putin had denied intervention in the US election in any way. In this meeting, Putin’s stand was firm, then Trump was in a cordial posture. So even though there was no agreement in this meeting, the first formal meeting was fine and Russia got a diplomatic edge in it.
