HAMBURG, Germany — After months of questions about their relationship, President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin shared their first handshake at the G-20 summit Friday.
Meanwhile, protests at the annual event caused problems for First Lady Melania Trump.
Her spokeswoman said she was unable to leave her residence because it had not been cleared by local police. "It's unfortunate," said her spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham.
The handshake between Trump and Putin comes ahead of their highly-anticipated meeting at the sidelines of the G-20 summit, a gathering of leading rich and developing economies that is hosted this year in Hamburg, Germany. It also comes after months of investigations into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
The Trump-Putin meeting was scheduled for the afternoon (morning ET) of the first day of the summit.
