“Slow, no, stop. Oh my God, Oh my God,” the voice is heard saying. “Stop! Slow! One by one!”
“[Keep it] civil here,” another voice is heard saying.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and his US counterpart, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, also attended the meeting.
As the official part of the meeting concluded, journalists shouted questions at the two leaders.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, known for his strict attitude towards reporters breaching diplomatic protocol, could be seen smiling.
Putin and Trump did not answer any questions. The meeting went on behind closed doors after the press finally left the room.
