HAMBURG = The German government says Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Donald Trump have discussed issues including North Korea, the situation in the Middle East and the conflict in eastern Ukraine.
A brief government statement gave no further details of Thursday's discussion, which lasted a little over an hour, other than to say they discussed "some issues on the G-20 agenda."
It said Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel also participated.
Merkel and Trump have met on three previous occasions. Merkel has visited the White House, and the two also participated in May in a Nato summit and the Group of Seven summit in Italy.
