Moscow believes its leader, ex-spy master Vladimir Putin, can extract major concessions from President Donald Trump when the two meet for the first time next week, European officials tell The Daily Beast.

The officials say their intelligence indicates Putin thinks he can outmaneuver Trump at the G-20 summit, playing on promises of cooperation on areas like counterterrorism to win concessions like a reduction in the raft of sanctions against Russia.

“When you meet Russia, don’t give anything away for free,” one Western official warned, echoing the fears of many European diplomats ahead of next week’s Trump-Putin meeting on the fringes of the G-20 in Germany.

Their misgivings highlight concern that Trump’s inexperience and Putin’s ability to flatter will slowly degrade the U.S. alliance with Europe over time, and boost Moscow back to near-superpower status while extracting no changes to its aggressive, expansionist behavior.

2. I'm in fear, too...

Trump will give him whatever he wants. At the expense of the American people.

3. Putin has already extracted such committments from his asset... it is the successful delivery which

*45 has failed to bring to fruition.

This is all just a big staged production to make it appear as though these 'concessions' were not part of the Quid Pro Quo ageed to prior to election.

IOW.... Clean Up needed at G-20....
