Today, July 20, the Kremlin officially declared that the US President Donald trump and the President of Russia Vladimir Putin have not performed a «secret meeting» at the summit G20.
About it reports Reuters.
Previously, the press Secretary of the White House Sean Spicer confirmed the information about holding a conversation a few hours after the official bilateral meeting. But how long communicated by the leaders, and what is it, Spicer said.
The message caused a great resonance among US politicians, especially opponents of the trump in light of the fact that Russia allegedly intervened in the presidential election of 2016.
Putin’s press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said that the second meeting was not, was only a small informal dinner conversation, and it was about the problems of adoption.
In 2012, Vladimir Putin approved a law banning Americans to adopt Russian children in response to new US law on human rights.
This «manifestation of the schizophrenia»,» — said Peskov, the talk about «secret meetings» and added that the next official meeting between the two leaders in the near future is not planned.
The trump said in an interview with the New York Times that dinner conversation lasted only about 15 minutes, and confirmed that it was about adoption.
According to previous reports from Reuters, the second conversation trump and Putin lasted about an hour. In addition to the presidents, it was attended by only the interpreter of Putin. The New York Times wrote that the guests at the dinner found this meeting «really weird.»
