finland. they know how to do these summits, beer summits or otherwise. why are you in helsinki? what s the significance there? it s been a long-standing tradition for presidents of the united states to meet with the leader of russia here. this country borders russia. it s very neutral. they pledged neutrality after world war ii. they allow for friendly ties because they wanted to get along with the east and with the west. and never joined nato or the other alliances. that s right. that pleases president putin for sure. we were expecting protests. we were expecting people to have strong political opinions. 100,000 in london. that s right. we went to the marketplace. this is the presidential palace, the yellow, that s one of his residence, that s where the summit will be hold. across the street, the baltic sea and along the sea is the marketplace. we were asking people what they thought about the summit. we were expecting them to have strong political opinions and
