(CNN)President Donald Trump plans to meet one-on-one with Vladimir Putin at the start of their July 16 summit in Helsinki, Finland, according to a person familiar with the plans, before allowing other aides to join the highly anticipated encounter with the Russian leader.
The meeting will be the first formal summit talks between them. They have met previously on the sidelines of conferences.
Trump has shown an affinity for meeting individually with his counterparts before opening the room to fuller delegations. During his historic summit with Kim Jong Un last month, Trump met for about an hour with just the North Korean dictator, joined only by their translators. Emerging from the face-to-face, Trump told reporters the discussion was "very, very good."
He had said before the Singapore talks that he wanted to take the measure of Kim personally and gauge their chemistry. In the case of Putin, Trump has already assessed their interpersonal ties up close, but wants more time to develop the leader-to-leader relationship, according to the person familiar with the summit's planning.

It will definitely be recorded. Putin will shelve it right next to the Pee Tape.

Putin is probably going to tell him how they are going to interfere this time in the November elections.
I hope the room they meet is is bugged and their conversation is recorded.

(23,932 posts)7. this is what's known as a "debriefing"
technically, it's still a kind of meeting, but it's getting pretty obvious that the media's burying the lead here.
i guess it's their job to feign ignorance and disbelief, but it's not like there aren't sufficient explanations in orbit around their foreign policy "ohmigoodnessgracious" stories.
