 Trump  has shown little appetite for holding talks with Putin unless there is some sense that progress could be made on festering issues such as Syria  Ukraine and North Korea.
After emphasizing last year on the campaign trail that it would be nice if the United States and Russia could work together on world problems   Trump  has had limited contact with Putin since taking office.
 Trump  publicly sitting down with Putin also revives the issue of Russian meddling in last year’s U.S. presidential election  which remains under investigation.
 Trump’s  former campaign manager  Paul Manafort  has been indicted in the probe along with his former deputy  Rick Gates.
