Trump plans to meet with Putin one-on-one, without aides

During his first formal summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin this month, US President Donald Trump plans to meet with the world leader one-on-one, Talking Points Memo reported citing CNN.

Aides will be allowed to enter the meeting, which is set for July 16 in Helsinki, Finland, after the two have had a chance to talk on their own.

This will be the first time the two have met for a formal summit. Previously, Putin and Trump have had meetings on the margins of other global gatherings.
