In what was suppose to be a thirty minute meeting, Russian president Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart Donald Trump‘s bromance blossomed into a two-plus hour face-to-face at the G20 Friday.
According to Russian state-media RT, apparently the two discussed cyber security, Syria and fighting terrorism.

Per RT:
“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,” Putin said.
“Fighting terrorism, cyber security” were also on the table, the Russian leader added.
However the big news items to perhaps to come out of the meeting is Trump putting on his big boy pants and addressing the Russian election meddling directly and an apparent ceasefire deal in Syria.
That cease fire deal is expected to go into effect Sunday. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is also scheduled to further address the deal later on Friday.
