(VOVWORLD) - On the sideline of the G20 Summit, US President Donald Trump opened Friday discussion by pressing the Russian President about "the concerns of the American people regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election".
However, President Putin denied such involvement. The two leaders showed different point of view on how to tackle North Korea’s nuclear test. Washington said it will continue to urge Moscow to curb Pyongyang’s actions.
