Photos capture the first face-to-face meeting between Trump and Putin

President Donald Trump has officially met his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin.

World leaders pose for a family photo at the G20 leaders summit in Hamburg, Germany July 7, 2017.

The two leaders have a high-profile meeting set for 9:45 a.m. ET on Friday morning, but they appear to have already met more informally at the G-20 summit.

Germany, the G-20 host country, posted a behind-the-scenes video on its official cabinet Facebook page of various world leaders greeting one another.

Here's the photo of Trump and Putin:

Trump's more official meeting with Putin will take place amid crumbling US-Russia relations. The president faces investigations by Congress and the FBI into Russia's interference in the 2016 election and whether the Trump campaign played a role in it.
