Trump and Putin's first date
What to expect from the first ever face-to-face meeting between Trump and Putin
The first face-to-face meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin happened at the G20 summit today.
Kurt Volker, the former US representative to NATO, tells Today "there has been so much expectation placed in this relationship...neither side want a confrontation with each other."
Sir Tony Brenton is former British ambassador to Russia and says "Putin is keen to establish a good relationship with Trump...these are two big beasts sniffing around each other for the first time which is a rather unpredictable moment."
