Russian President Vladimir Putin fired a new broadside against Western liberalism at the Group of 20 summit in Japan, saying that policies such as welcoming migrants have hurt people's interests. "The liberal idea has started eating itself," Putin said at a news conference. Putin hailed his meeting with Trump on Friday on the sidelines of the G-20 summit as "business-like and pragmatic." At the start of Friday's meeting, the Russian leader laughed when a reporter shouted about Trump warning Putin "not to meddle" in the 2020 presidential election. Asked Saturday whether the issue was discussed during the meeting, Putin said that "we talked about it," but didn't elaborate.
