President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met face to face for the first time Friday at the G20 summit. Trump said it was ‘an honor’ to be with the Russian president in Germany.

In return, Putin said he was ‘delighted’. There you go, the presidents are happy. 

This meeting comes at a pivotal time for US-Russian relations. It will be watched whether or not Trump confronts Putin over Russia’s meddling in the 2o16 presidential election. 

Trump took to Twitter before he attended the G20 meeting with other world leaders.

“I look forward to all meetings today with world leaders, including my meeting with Vladimir Putin. Much to discuss,” the president wrote.

He also addressed the ‘Fake News Media’ that he claims covers him inaccurately on a daily basis. He promised to fight for the interests of the U.S. 

“I will represent our country well and fight for its interests! Fake News Media will never cover me accurately but who cares! We will #MAGA!
