ROSTOCK, Germany (AP) - Is a tense meeting in the cards for President Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin? "Could be," even Bush admits.
The leaders saw each other Wednesday night for the first time since their dispute over putting a U.S. missile defense system in Eastern Europe flared into Cold War-style rhetoric and sent Russia-U.S. relations sliding to their lowest point in decades.
Bush and Putin are attending a summit of the world's eight major industrialized democracies, which opened with an evening of cocktails, dinner and entertainment with spouses at a rural manor.
