Trump attacks "fake news" with Putin: "You don’t have this problem in Russia"

President Donald Trump candidly riffed about “fake news” and joked about making reporters leave the room as he sat down with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the G20 summit in Japan on Friday.

“Get rid of them. Fake news is a great term, isn’t it?” Trump asked Putin, who smiled and nodded along. “You don’t have this problem in Russia but we do.”

“We also have [fake news],” Putin said while replying to Trump in English. “It’s the same.”
