June 28, 2019 in Osaka (Japan) began the summit of the "Big Twenty" (G-20), which will last two days. On the sidelines of the summit, a meeting was held between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump, which lasted an hour and a half.



Before the presidents began negotiations, they went to the journalists. Some representatives of the Western media did not hold back their emotions and asked Trump to urge Putin not to interfere in US elections. Both presidents took this as an actual joke. Trump complied, and Putin smiled broadly. After that, both leaders assured that they, like the whole world, are interested in improving relations.

During the talks, the heads of state discussed the situation in Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Ukraine and a number of other issues. The presidents agreed to continue negotiations on creating a modern arms control model.
