Washington Post: Trump had undisclosed hour-long meeting with Putin at G-20 summit
After his much-publicized, two-and a quarter-hour meeting early this month with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Group of 20 summit in Germany, President Trump met informally with the Russian leader for an additional hour later the same day.

As to what was discussed .... it was probably a continuation of their meeting from that afternoon.
