U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin are expected to hold their first one-on-one meeting in Helsinki on Monday.
But the two leaders will hold some of those meetings without their aides – and that’s worrying diplomats.
Trump has been under pressure to cancel the summit altogether.
That’s after the U.S. Justice Department charged 12 Russians with hacking the Democratic party and Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election campaign.
President Trump has promised to confront Putin on the issue and other issues.
So, will the two leaders reach a common ground?
