Putin's first face-to-face meeting that happened just yesterday. joining me now is democratic congressman david cicilline, who serves on the house foreign affairs committee. congressman, thanks for being here this saturday. what do you think of president trump's performance at the g20? >> well, i think it was really a lost opportunity. this was the president's first meeting with the russian president, and it was an opportunity to look him dead in the eye and condemn russian interference in our presidential election and make it clear that we will not tolerate that going forward. i think the pre...

Looked presidential. but if you look at what the undercurrent of this entire summit was, there's deep division and great isolation from the united states. the europeans want american leadership, and they don't see it. >> what does that say about the united states, that it's a great success, that nothing catastrophic happened at the g20 and president trump walks away as the g1 versus the g19, essentially, isolated on the world stage. >> that's the narrative you're going to hear from president bush, that it went well but if you look at those undercurrents, the u.s. is isolated on climate, on tra...

Disturbing to me is we saw really for the first time, u.s. leadership being isolated at the g20. there were discussions about trade, about refugees, about climate change, that were really not -- the united states was not a part of those discussions because our present administration's policies are so different from the rest of the g20. and you, in fact, had 19 members of the g20 affirm the paris accords and all the principles articulated in the paris accord so i think we saw the u.s. out of step with many in the g20 and i think that's a hit to american leadership in the world. and something th...

I know president trump must have just gotten wi-fi on air force one because he sent out a few tweets. >> reporter: that's right. we did get a few tweets from the president praising the police here and there are new protests going on here even haafter the 0 has wrapped up. 50,000 protesters in the streets here. but let's focus on that g20 more broadly. within the last few minutes, we are now hearing the recording of a conversation, basically, a news conference held by several senior administration officials on board air force one as they head home from hamburg with the traveling press and one o...

Event, and i already know what trump thinks, because he's said repeatedly that he thinks this is a witch hunt and fake news. so, you know, that's where we're going find out the truth. >> and just imagine if -- just imagine, there's no world in which putin meets with trump the first time as presidents, and putin says, oh, yes, i did meddle in your elections. that would never happen in any universe. >> i think it's fair to say that we would all be very, very shocked. all right, david, daniel, good to see you both on this saturday. appreciate you being here. all right, the u.s. and its allies s...
