BUENOS AIRES—The Kremlin claimed that President Donald Trump had a brief meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the margins of the G20 summit on Nov. 30. The White House, however, said both leaders had a number of casual conversations, playing down Kremlin’s statement.

Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov told Reuters that both leaders had a brief meeting but did not provide the details of the interaction.
