Putin jokes with Trump and is scolded by May

Jokes with Donald Trump, long faces with Theresa May. That’s the way Vladimir Putin likes to roll at the G20 summit in Japan.

Mrs May raised plenty of tricky subjects during an 80-minute encounter with the Russian President in Osaka, describing the nerve agent attack in Salisbury on a former Russian spy and his daughter as a “truly despicable act”.

By contrast, the US President made a light-hearted quip about allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
