The meeting in Hamburg was initially planned to last for around 30-40 minutes, international media reported earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

The situation in the Ukraine, Syria, as well as cyber security were discussed at the meeting, the Russian president told reporters after his talks with Trump ended.<\/p>\n

“We’ve had a very long discussion with the US president. Many issues accrued, including Ukraine, Syria and other problems, as well as some bilateral issues<\/em>,” Putin said.<\/p>\n

“Fighting terrorism, cyber security<\/em>” were also on the table, the Russian leader added.<\/p>\n

He was speaking ahead of his next meeting with Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Putin also apologized on behalf of himself and Trump for keeping Abe waiting for the meeting, as the Putin-Trump talks lasted more than an hour longer than planned.<\/p>\n
