What do you think Trump and Putin "really" discussed?

[kentuck]

My hunch is that they talked about the "deals" they had discussed before Trump became the President? Probably the large oil field discovery in the North Sea and if Trump could still get his percentage of the deal if he can persuade the Republicans to pull the sanctions? Tillerson was probably very involved in the discussion, also, since he was the former head of Exxon-Mobil and had his own deals with Putin already and had won the most prestigious award from the Russian government.

Anything else that was discussed was done in passing. It was the business deals that were of the most interest to Putin and Trump. Their businesses, not their countries, was of paramount importance. How much money could they make? The Trump Family should be very happy after this secret little meeting.

1. Trump discussed the fake news and how unfairly he has been treated.

Putin nodded in agreement and talked sanctions.

The fact that Trump didn't issue a stern warning to Putin & slam him for the intervention in US election is disgraceful. A surrender monkey?

I hope Trump also gave Putin advice on how to handle "fake news."

According to Lavrov, Trump told Putin some circles in America were "exaggerating" allegations of Russian interference in the US election.

Tillerson says Trump and Putin didn't see much value in "relitigating of the past" and want to start making the US-Russia relationship work.

He offered to set up a cybersecurity working group w/ Russia. Just like FDR setting up an anti-sneak-attack working group with Japan in 1941

4. Vlad gave *45 deadline to lift all sanctions (which *45 can do ALONE) probably Noon on Sunday- same

As the proposed Syrian ceasefire is set for.

[Fozzledick]

5. "Why haven't you lifted the sanctions so Exxon can pump out my oil and ship it thru the Crimea?"

"What do you think I've been paying you for?"

"Are you even listening to me? Put down that phone and pay attention!"
