United States President Donald Trump said the meeting he had on Monday, 16 July, in Helsinki, with the Russian President, Vladimir Putin was a "good start".

According to Reuters, Trump made this statement at the beginning of a working dinner that began after the American and Russian leaders spoke for two hours only in the presence of their translators.

US and Russian Heads of State said the dialogue was a good start to improve bilateral relations, which the US President said had reached the lowest level ever.

President Donald Trump also said that diplomacy is preferable to conflict, and that the two major nuclear powers can work together on this issue, but also in other international files, such as Syria and the Middle East, a shared view by President Vladimir Putin.

Summit of US and Russian Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin will also be the topic of the Radio Romania News show titled "Up to date" that will be broadcasted on Tuesday, July 17, right after the 13:00 News Bulletin.
