why won t the president say this in public? it would put a lot of these questions and, frankly, the fact that a lot of your fellow republicans are perplexed, would put it to rest. why won t he do it? i think you can ask him. everybody is trying to nitpick what he says and what he doesn t. talk is one thing, actions are another. he confronted president putin and it was the first thing he talked about. i think we have to see where it goes from here. president trump is back on the way to the u.s. having wrapped up his trip to the g20 about an hour or so ago. we are now learning more about what happened during his meeting with vladimir putin. let s get the latest details from hallie jackson and keir simmons. we ll begin with you, hallie. i know you ve been tracking what the president has been doing during this packed day of the g20 meetings, all of the talks with the crucial allies, so what do you see as the highlights coming out of those meetings? reporter: well, i think if you we
