The most pressing international issues, which is a long time «hang in the air» relate to the nuclear programs of North Korea and Iran, as well as the fight against ISIS in Iraq and Syria.
In addition, we should remember a major scandal relating to the statements of us intelligence that Russia intervened in the U.S. presidential election. Will the trump to raise the subject – the same question.
But, apparently, the key issue may be a civil war in Syria. Recall that the US and Russia take opposing positions on this issue.
For this meeting, Donald trump was prepared by the U.S. Secretary Rex Tillerson, who has already met several times with Putin personally, Secretary of defense James Mattis and Fiona hill, assistant to the President and senior Director for European Affairs and of the Russian Federation in the Council of national security of the United States.

A formal conversation will take place a little later. It will be attended by not only the presidents of the United States and the Russian Federation, but also the Minister of foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov and Rex Tillerson.
By the way, the US first lady, Melania trump, who yesterday arrived in Hamburg with her husband, still can not leave the guest house of the Senate, where they had temporarily settled instead of luxury hotel. The reason for this was the mass protests against the summit.
