The two leaders exchanged a few opening remarks in front of the press at the start of their summit in Helsinki.

After Trump congratulated Putin and other world leaders for the successful staging of the World Cup in Russia,  Putin said, “The time has come to talk in a substantive way about our relations and problem areas of the world.”
