has described historic talks with Vladimir Putin today as 'a very good start' as the pair looked to rebuild ties between the US and Russia.

The US President said he hoped for an 'extraordinary relationship' with Moscow before leaning across to shake hands with the Russian leader as the pair sat side-by-side ahead of their summit at the Finnish Presidential Palace in Helsinki.

In his opening remarks, Trump praised Russia's hosting of the World Cup, but admitted the two countries have not been getting along for the past two years.

Trump my guy.

Putin my friend.

Russian President Vladimir Putin told his US counterpart: 'The time has to come to talk in a substantive way'

Trump said getting along with Russia would be a 'good thing, not a bad thing', in opening remarks in front of media before the closed-door meeting.

happney65, you see what people like me and millions of Americans are worried about. The Dotard is a Russian stooge and he doesn't even hide it anymore. That's where his finances comes from because no single bank in America will fund his projects because of his several bankruptcies. Hopefully, the Sickle and the Hammer wouldn't be on an American flag.

I never believe that i will live to see a day when the president of my country will be a subject of ridicule and scorn all over the world. This too shall pass.

Nigerians carrying American politics like pure water.

All true Nigerians adore this man. He has been sent by God.

Our love for Him is second only to our love for Jesus Christ!

Trump carries the power of life and death over every soul on this planet with nuclear fire!

Women minorities and gay will be held in check and kept in their rightful place.

He can kill at will and will never apologise.

Who among us does not desire this??

The press in America are giving him hell as we speak. What he did in that press conference was tantamount to treason especially belittling the American intelligence agencies just to support his paymaster Pootin.

If You do, I doubt if they will let you in. The racist loathes people that looks like you. You can take that to the bank. Meanwhile, go and open your BETNAIJA shop because you don't belong here spouting garbage about a country you know nothing about.
