Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin meet again as the US strengthens relations in Asia and manages international crises.

The second face-to-face meeting between diplomats Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin takes place in a tense atmosphere, with Trump expressing dissatisfaction with Moscow's position on the war in Ukraine and Putin's lack of involvement in peace talks. The meeting comes after the confusion generated by the temporary suspension of arms shipments to Ukraine, a decision taken by the Pentagon without White House approval but later resumed. Rubio, in Asia for the first time, is seeking to strengthen US relations with Indo-Pacific states as he tackles crises in Europe and the Middle East.
