POTUS-Trump First Meeting On Sidelines At G-20...
Epic meeting.
Trump and Putin began their 1st face-to-face encounter about 10:10a eastern and concluded about 12:25p during G-20 in Germany
Reports emerging that Putin says he and Trump talked about cyber security and terrorism.
A "de-escalation agreement" was agreed to by US, Russia and Jordan regarding ceasefire in southwest Syria, Tillerson tells press in Germany.
TRUMP opened Putin meeting by raising concerns about 2016 election interference, Tillerson said. Pressed Putin repeatedly. Putin denied it.
Putin's denial of election interference is a hindrance to moving the US-Russia relationship forward, Tillerson tells press in Germany.
Trump accepted Putin's assurances that Russia didn't do any hacking in US election, Lavrov says, in separate briefing with Russian press.
US and Russia see North Korea "a little differently," Tilllerson says, but Russia official policy is denuclearization.
Putin and Trump "connected very quickly. There was a very clear positive chemistry between the two," Tillerson tells US press.
Putin and Trump had such intense level of engagement neither wanted to stop, Tillerson says. 1st Lady came to interrupt, but went hour more.
Tillerson: Russians asked for proof of election meddling; Trump says he'll leave that to intel community. Trump said let's "move forward."
Tillerson and Mnuchin end briefing to US press on how the Trump Putin meeting went.
Lavrov gave his own version of events to Russian press.
Lavrov: Putin, Trump agreed to
-secure Syrian ceasefire
-open channel on Ukraine
-start working group on cybersecurity
-name new ambassadors
Lavrov: Trump said "some circles continue to pump up the topic of Russian interference in the American elections though they can’t prove it"

Not sure how anyone in 2017 doesn't grasp jihad-but Dems better understand they need to stamp out this fire pronto.
Briefing reporters in Germany, Treasury Sec Steve Mnuchin kicks off by praising Trump. Says Poland speech was "incredibly well received."
"The North Korea issue has been discussed very substantively," Mnuchin says, referring to Trump's meetings with Merkel, Moon, Abe, etc.
Definitely something people with open minds should read this weekend.
