Trump was asked about the reactions of the other leaders in the room, as well as Putin's reaction. "I think they expected it. I didn't do it in front of them. I thought that would be disrespectful to President Putin. I wouldn't do that because they have not had the warmest relationship," he said. "I think I sort of knew I was at the end of the meeting that I was going to call President Putin, and President Putin expected it, and he was there.

Trump suggested that once the leaders meet, then he will go to the trilateral meeting to try to "close it up."
