MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Trump plan to meet for at least an hour on the sidelines of this week’s Group of 20 summit in Japan, a Kremlin official said Wednesday, confirming plans for the first meeting between the leaders in nearly a year.

Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said Syria, North Korea, Afghanistan, Venezuela and Iran would all likely be on the agenda, according to the Interfax news agency. The presidents will be joined by four or five officials each, Ushakov said.

While it was scheduled to last an hour, “many things will depend on the leaders themselves,” Ushakov said.

Trump and Putin last met in Helsinki in July 2018.

4. Lol. "Kremlin confirms"! This is just rich. The House needs to pass a bill requiring the

President to, at a minimum, create and provide a complete and accurate record of private discussions held with any foreign leader and state clearly why they are passing and expect the Senate (McConnell) to also vote on and pass this bill before the G-20 meeting.

Maybe they should call it the Trump Anti-Treason Act of 2019.

7. Where is the CIA? They should be thinking about placing a bug in the room

Or on Trump. A matter of national security.
