Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said President Donald Trump opened the meeting with Vladimir Putin raising the issue of Russian election meddling.
The Russian foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, had told reporters after Friday's meeting that Trump had accepted Putin's assurances that Moscow didn't interfere with the election - an account that appeared at odds with that of the U.S. secretary of state, Rex Tillerson.
Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov, who was in the meeting, said afterward that Trump accepted Putin's assurances that Russia didn't interfere in the election.
Trump and Putin agreed to explore a framework around which they can work to better understand these types of cyberthreats, the USA diplomat said.
Mr Putin said his answers were detailed and covered his discussions on the election meddling issue with representatives of the previous administration, including former president Barack Obama.
He said the two men connected quickly and had "a very clear positive chemistry". "Several times I had to remind the President, and people were sticking their heads in the door".
There are important questions, however, about the rest of the exchange, and about whether even now Mr. Trump understands the gravity of Russia's interference in America's democratic processes.
