U.S. President Donald Trump¹ will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin next week at the Group of 20 summit in Hamburg, Germany, the White House said Thursday.

 

白宫周四表示，下周在德国汉堡举行的G20峰会上，美国总统特朗普将与俄罗斯总统普京举行会谈。

 

U.S. National Security Adviser² H.R. McMaster made the announcement at a White House briefing, adding that "there is no specific agenda. It's really going to be whatever the president wants to talk about."

 

The first face-to-face encounter between the two leaders will come amid tensions between the U.S. and Russia as the two countries hold differences on a slew³ of issues, including the Syrian conflict, the Ukrainian crisis and the expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

 

In April, Trump said the U.S. was "not getting along with Russia at all" and the relations between the two countries "may be at an all-time low." 

 

Meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Washington in mid-May, Trump expressed his desire to build a better relationship between the two countries.
