Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin had a second encounter while at the G-20 summit in Germany earlier this month that wasn’t disclosed at the time, a White House official said Tuesday.

The U.S. and Russian presidents had a conversation during a dinner July 7 at the summit in Hamburg after spending more than two hours in a formal bilateral meeting earlier in the day, Michael Anton, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council, said.
