DANANG, Vietnam (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met briefly on the sidelines of a summit of Asia-Pacific leaders in Vietnam on Saturday and agreed on the need for a political solution to Syria’s conflict.

A joint statement on Syria followed their first meeting since July at a time that U.S.-Russia relations have been battered and Trump is haunted by allegations that Putin meddled in last year’s election that brought him to the White House.

Their statement called for a political solution to Syria’s conflict and said they would continue joint efforts to fight Islamic State. Trump said it would save “tremendous numbers of lives”.

Talking after their meeting, Putin described Trump as “a well-mannered person and comfortable to deal with”.

“We know each other little, but the U.S. president is highly civil in his behavior, friendly. We have a normal dialogue but unfortunately little time,” he said.

Here they are seen talking after the brief meeting as the walk toward the "class picture" in DaNang.

A lot of people are suspicious the way ISIS just gives up their lands to the Syrian army. Russia and Syria have done very little against ISIS.

US backed-forces have done a lot. SDF.

Sorry, but Russia (with our without Putin) can't be trusted. Never did like Russia.. Never will.

Russia was a great friend of the USA for a VERY long time!

I have no problems at all with Russia! It is the Communist Soviet Union (now defunct) that I abhor!

I like presidents who weren't captured by Putin.

We've got to play ball with the leaders other nations elect; and it's all the more reason to "trust but verify".
