During the G20 summit, which will be held on July 7-8 in Hamburg, the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, will hold talks with the leaders of 12 countries and international organizations. According to the assistant to the president for international affairs, Yuri Ushakov, the Russian and American sides will make every effort to find a window for the meeting between Russian and US leaders. In addition, on the second day of the summit, is a separate working breakfast with French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Yuri Ushakov said that the request from the US administration on the organization of the meeting between the two leaders came later than the others. Both delegations will be looking for free time in their busy schedules.
- "We understand that everything is difficult, that relations with Russia have become hostage to domestic political fights in the United States. So what? For us it is also difficult, but we want to work and will work together with the United States "- said the assistant to the head of state.
Yuri Ushakov believes that the two presidents will discuss the fight against international terrorism, as well as arms control and the strengthening of strategic stability, as the Russian Federation and the United States have a responsibility being the largest nuclear powers. Of particular importance is the coordination of efforts in the context of the situation in Syria.
The meeting of the leaders is one of the most anticipated events of the G20, but experts say that this expectation is premature in the immediate changes in the relationship between the two countries.
- "Our contradictions are too deep to be decided in a meeting in Hamburg. I think it will be just a protocol meeting. The fact that [Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump] shake hands, will be perceived as a sensation," - the expert states.
