Bad Act: Trump Talks Privately with Putin for 2 Hours

On Jul 16, Trump talked privately with Putin for 2 hours! Why? no one on our side knows what was said, but Putin does. Is Putin using anything from that meeting as leverage? The two leaders met for a summit in Helsinki, Finland. They spoke privately for two hours, accompanied only by their respective translators.

Verified: Not in dispute. The bad act is panned by nearly all. It’s true that leaders need to speak privately sometimes, but this was an odd one and what Trump said afterwards was bizaar.
