Trump and Putin are posing for the cameras at the Presidential Palace in Helsinki.

Putin says it is a pleasure to meet Trump. Trump congratulates Putin on the World Cup and on Russia’s performance in the tournament. “I watched quite a bit of it ... it was beautifully done,” Trump says.

He says we have a lot of good things to talk about, from trade to China and “our mutual friend Presidential Xi.”

We have great opportunities together, we have not been getting along for years, Trump adds. Getting along is a good thing, Trump says. The world wants to see us getting along, he adds. We have 90% of the world’s nuclear weapons and that is not a good thing, Trump says.
