Reporters were not allowed in the meeting, and the White House did not
release any photos of President Obama and President Putin shaking hands.
But in a surprising move, the Russians did publish a photo of the two
leaders on Tuesday.
A White House official confirms the meeting on
background. The leaders continued to discuss the global threat posed by
ISIL, and it appears President Obama raised the escalation of tensions
between Russia and Turkey with Putin.
Putin's spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, told Russian reporters in Paris
that Obama "expressed his regret" about the downing of the Russian jet
by Turkey.
