US first lady Melania Trump says she and her Finnish counterpart had a "good conversation about issues facing our nations."

Mrs. Trump says in a tweet that she enjoyed today's talk, adding "Thank you to @JenniHaukio for hosting me!" Haukio is the wife of Sauli Niinisto, the president of Finland, which is welcoming Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin of Russia for a summit.

The first ladies met separately over breakfast while their husbands held talks.

Meanwhile, the Finnish tabloid Iltalehti took the American first lady to task with a front-page photo tweaking her for an alleged "breach of etiquette" because she walked off of Air Force One in front of President Trump after they landed at the airport in Helsinki on Sunday night.
