[Sanchez:] This week, President Trump will come face to face with the man who tried to meddle with the U.S. election, President Vladimir Putin. Officials confirmed the two will meet on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Germany. When they do it, it could be a public relations mine field. The investigation into Russian election meddling and possible collusion with the Trump campaign is looming large, and of course tensions in Syria are heating up. With me to discuss, CNN global affairs correspondent Elise Labott. Elise, what is the White House hoping to get out of this meeting?
[Elise Labott, Cnn Global Affairs Correspondent:] Well Boris, they haven't really said much about the meeting. Obviously this will be the first meeting between the two leaders especially since President Trump has taken office. But his national security adviser, H.R. McMaster has said there is no agenda. It will kind of just be based on what the president wants to talk to at the time. You can bet that President Putin will want to come out of this meeting with a real sense that the relationship is back on track. I think both leaders want to do that. President Trump has certainly said he wants better relations with Russia. And so I think that's what they're both coming out looking for good optics of the meeting, there's not a lot of preparation it seems going into the White House as President Trump takes a meeting, but Vladimir Putin is undoubtedly preparing for this very carefully, and so I think he goes into this meeting with a little bit of the upper hand.
[Sanchez:] Yes, the president met with the Russian foreign minister and the Russian ambassador in the Oval Office earlier this year, they looked like they were pretty chummy. They were getting along. There were reports that potentially some secret information, sensitive information was revealed to them. Is Trump expected to be tough in his meeting with Putin, confront him perhaps about election meddling or are we going to see maybe a hug or something a bit chummier?
[Labott:] Well the White House hasn't said whether he's going to talk about any potential about that issue in the meeting. I would suspect that he won't because he wants to put that relationship with President Putin back on track. They have a lot of other important issues to discuss, Syria, Ukraine, North Korea, nuclear issues so, I mean, I think everyone would like him to bring up the election meddling, kind of a warning to President Putin not to think about doing anything like that again. But I think the body language in this meeting is going to be so interesting because as you said, President Trump is kind of a hugger, is kind of a real chummy guy. President Putin is not like that and I think President Trump wants to show that the who men are getting along, and I think President Putin wants to show that President Trump respects him. So I think the body language in that handshake, if it's their photo op or whatever, is going to be the most interesting thing.
[Sanchez:] Yes, President Trump certainly known for his enthusiastic handshakes. Elise, we have to leave it there. Elise Labott reporting from Washington. Thank you. Coming up, we bring you the story of a special needs child who could be one of those most affected by the Republican health care bill. But first, the original Chinatown in America is deep in the heart of San Francisco. On the next "United Shades Of America," W. Kamau Bell walks the streets to see how and why people are choosing to honor their original Chinese heritage in the face of racist stereotypes. That's tonight at 10:00.
[W. Kamau Bell:] San Francisco is the first Chinatown and it seems like the identity of the city.
[Unidentified Female:] Exactly. But years ago is a country like it's another country. People began to have these fears of Chinese- Americans.
[Bell:] Chinese people in Chinatown had to stay in Chinatown.
[Unidentified Female:] Yes.
[Bell:] That's a history people really don't talk about. People like to promote San Francisco as an all accepting and welcoming place, but that's not always true. How important was it to you to grow up owning your Chinese-American identity?
[Unidentified Female:] Oh my go, you have opened such a can worms.
[Bell:] Is it important that Chinese-Americans retain this culture? I've seen the hyper sexualization of the Asian female.
[Unidentified Female:] It's something we've had to deal with all of our lives.
[Unidentified Male:] With Asian male masculinity, it's perceived inferiority at a genetic level.
