Former congressman and chief of staff to President Barack Obama, Rahm Emanuel, expressed his concern that Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Donald Trump were in the limousine together alone as they headed toward their summit.

CNN commentators recalled that Trump wanted to invite North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un into the limo known as "the beast" when the two had their meeting. The Secret Service at the time advised against it.

Putin, the commentators recalled, is a former Russian spy and intelligence officer.

"We'll see how much magic he can work before the three-on-three starts," former Trump national security advisor John Bolton said.

"The idea that you're not either Secretary of State Rubio or special envoy Witkoff aren't in the car, given the last bit we were talking about. They had a lot of time on the plane. So that's not exactly lost time. But the idea that they're in there without them, I think, without adult supervision, if I may be so sarcastic, I think is a bit of a risk. I do think there's a piece of this — this is not the first meeting. So there's a comfort zone there."
