OSAKA, Japan—President Donald Trump met on June 28 with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the margins of the G-20 summit in Osaka. The bilateral meeting marks the first official encounter between the two leaders in almost a year.

“It is a great honor to be with President Putin,” Trump said as the pair met, adding that they had many issues to discuss, including trade, disarmament, and “a little protectionism perhaps, in a very positive way.”
