It`s a historical meeting, the first ever face-to-face encounter between Russia`s President Vladimir Putin and President Donald Trump.
The two briefly shook hands Friday ahead of their formal meeting on the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Hamburg, Germany.
The sit-down is scheduled to begin before 3 p.
During their bilateral gathering, they are set to talk about terrorism, Syria and North Korea, but political analysts don`t expect any significant outcome.

"It is unlikely that this closely-watched meeting will result in any tangible outcomes.
