White House official says Trump, Putin held a second, undisclosed meeting at the G20 in Germany

No further details ... no, wait there is ....

More here, though this is not direct from the White House like the confirmation of the meeting was (in the headline):

  • President Trump held a second, informal meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit in Hamburg earlier this month, according to Ian Bremmer, the president of the international consulting firm Eurasia Group
  • The meeting took place during the G-20 heads of state dinner
  • Trump spoke with the Russian leader for roughly an hour, joined only by Putin's translator
  • That Trump was not joined in the conversation by his own translator is a breach of national security protocol, Bremmer noted, though one that the president likely would not know about

I guess this'll become a talking point, but dunno about much in the way of market impact (at this stage anyway)

The two met formally also.
