G20

President Donald Trump shares a disdain for the media with Vladimir Putin, whose time in office has been marked by journalists getting killed.

The hour-long meeting took place without a U.S. translator present at the end of a formal dinner at the G20 summit.

The president has dismissed criticism he was not combative enough with his Russian counterpart.

As Angela Merkel looks set to enter her fourth term, a power shift at the top of world politics appears inevitable.

Chinese social media users who wanted to discuss Putin during the G20 were out of luck.

The illiberal forces unleashed by the president and his fellow nationalists in Europe abrogate the very values that make us Western.

Vladimir Putin's spokesman said Trump was 'skillfull' and 'efficient' after the two leaders met in Hamburg.

Putin's German language skills are well-known, thanks to his past career as a KGB spy in East Germany.

The president praised Germany's Angela Merkel and sat down with Russia's Vladimir Putin among other high-level meetings in Hamburg.

The Russian leader said Trump is a good listener, answers and thinks fast enough.

Trump is positive he will visit London but there's still no date set.

As her husband and Putin chatted, the first lady was sent in to try to bring the discussion to a close. The men ignored her.

Russian senators, parliament members and media were quick to note the positives even before the meeting was over.

The president has long wrestled with the idea of diet soda as an agent for weight loss.

President Donald Trump and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have notable disagreements on the issue of climate change.

President Donald Trump was forced to settle for a less-than-prime position in his first G20 group photo.

Reversing sanctions introduced by Obama would "reward the Kremlin for its bad behaviour," Republican and Democratic letter pleads.

Climate policy is likely to be one of the major flashpoints at the summit this year.

Besides Donald Trump's erratic behavior, American influence on the global stage is on the wane.

The invasion of Crimea vies with interference in the US election as the number one topic.

The U.S. president is widely unpopular in among most G-20 countries, while Merkel is largely approved of in America.

Merkel had previously called the U.S. Germany's "most important friend outside Europe," but her party's new manifesto suggests differently.

There will be much scrutiny of the first meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin later this week.

"Fake news" is holding back the Russia-U.S. special relationship, according to Sergey Ryabkov.

"If we simply try to carry on as we have in the past, the worldwide developments will definitely not be sustainable and inclusive," Merkel said.

How and when the meeting goes ahead depends on Putin's already busy schedule, the Kremlin asserts.

The German chancellor has said she will not shy away from confronting Donald Trump at the G-20 summit.

The president wants a full bilateral meeting, but his advisers would prefer a "pull-aside," sources say.

President Petro Poroshenko arrives in Washington, vowing to help Trump avoid "injustice" from Putin.

"The proposal remains in place," Finland's ambassador to Russia has said.
