A arrestness german a head of the g20 summit, protesters there have used boats, even giant puppets of President Donald Trump and other World Leaders to make their point especially on issues like Climate Change but official meeting is here may be overshadowed by another on the sidelines, a chance for russian president vladamire putin and President Trump to meet facetoface. Obviously i will not get ahead of the president s conversation. Reporter white house wont say much about the meeting but there should be plenty to talk about including allegations of russian interference in last years u. S. Election as special counsel investigates possible links between russia and trump campaign, the so far no evidence of collusion, but the president s critics will watch the putin trump meeting closely to see if the subject comes up. I hope it does and not just that they have a good laugh bit. Russian all but admitted they were involved. Reporter president has maintained that there was no collusion. But there are other likely topics of discussion, including what to do about syria and north korea. White house no doubt looking for a dose of good coverage, on a international stage. Remember last time he went on that european trip there was a lot of good press that came out and largely because twitter was chaperoned and that is a good thing.
