Article snippet: Vladimir Putin tomorrow at the G-20 summit in Germany, in what is sure to be a high-stakes first meeting between the two leaders. An administration official told ABC News that the only attendees for the meeting will be Trump, Putin, Secretary of State Tillerson, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov and two translators and it is expected to last just over 30 minutes. The official also told ABC News that the president has a single briefing binder that he is using for the entire G20 summit and does not have one specific to his meeting with Putin. Trump is not pouring over materials and potential demands since he feels more comfortable speaking off the cuff, the official added, which some note could be a disadvantage since Putin is known to prepare extensively for such meetings. The focus of the meeting will likely be Syria and Ukraine, though Russia's aggressive cyber activity is also expected to be addressed in a broader sense -- which may or may not include the 2016 presidential election. The meeting comes as Trump chided Russia earlier today during a speech to the Polish people for "destabilizing activities in Ukraine and elsewhere, and its support for hostile regimes including Syria and Robert Mueller continues his investigation. The president also met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, as well as the leaders of Japan and South Korea. ABC News' Katherine Faulders and Karen Travers contributed to this report.
