What do Trump and Putin want from each other?

Controversy continues to swirl around the US president, his aides, and the administration's relationship with Russia.


Questions about US President Donald Trump's relationship with Russia surfaced almost as soon as he announced his presidential campaign. Six months into his administration's term, they have never really gone away.
A major reason for that is the way in which both Trump and the people around him have often changed their stories regarding contacts with Russia.
As a candidate, Donald Trump once claimed to have a close relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, only to later say he had never met him. Just this week it emerged that at the recent G20 Summit Trump spoke with Putin for an hour, according to witnesses (Trump claims the meeting was much shorter) without any other US official present, meaning that Washington has no official record of what they discussed.
