Among Mr. Trump's achievements were a warm meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, a partial ceasefire agreement for Syria and a promise to speed up the trade agreement with Britain.

But the summit's final communiqué highlighted different positions with several 20th climate change leaders and a response to their perception of the former “American policy, viewed as Isolationist. In their statement, leaders agreed to “fought protectionism”.

On the last day of the meeting, President Trump met with leaders of Britain, Indonesia, Singapore, Japan and China.

At a session for women entrepreneurs, the president made a reconciliation gesture towards the organiser of the summit, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, probably the most vocal critic at the meeting of President Trump's policies for trade and climate.

President Trump praised Chancellor Merkel for organising the meeting, despite continuing protests and escalating in Hamburg, and included burning cars and robbing businessmen.

Mr. Trump's last day meeting was with Chinese President Xi Jinping, with whom he was expected to address the difficult question of North Korea. Mr. Trump has criticised Chinese leadership, saying he has not used the influence on North Korea to persuade him to give up the missile trials.

The president and delegation accompanying him left Hamburg shortly after meeting with President Xi.

The spirit of the meeting was friendly, and as President Trump put it, the US expects “positive things in the relationship between Russia and the United States”. Mr. Putin said it was the “pleasure” they met personally, and President Trump replied that the honored “ ” they met.

The meeting lasted more than two hours, much more than anticipated, that President Trump had to postpone a planned meeting with British Prime Minister Theresa May on Saturday.

Despite the friendly tone of the meeting, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the American leader had repeatedly asked Mr. Putin about allegations that Russia had intervened in last year's American elections.

Russians have denied any kind of interference in the election process.

President Trump said he had heard strong statements from President Putin that it was not true and that Russian authorities had not intervened in the election and Mr. Trump said he accepts these statements (Mr. Putin's). So much”, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.

At the end of the summit, Mr. Putin told reporters they should ask Mr. Trump whether he accepted his statements or not.

US officials have not confirmed Mr. Lavrov's description of President Trump's hearing on Mr. Putin's comments.
