Trump's meeting with Putin was not brief, nor just a casual conversation. It included discussions about substantive issues such as the conflict in Syria. Putin was accompanied by a translator. Trump, meanwhile, was accompanied only by Melania.

Details of Trump's private meeting with Putin [with no US translator or note-taker] at the Nov 2018 G20 were leaked by the Kremlin just as the Russian govt is publicly expressing anger with the Trump admin's position on recent events in Venezuela.

Trump regularly conceals his communications with Putin, blocking even his own officials from knowing what he tells a main adversary of the US. In May 2017, the FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation into whether Trump is an agent of Russia.
