KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine (Reuters) - President George W. Bush sought to rekindle the rapport he once had with Vladimir Putin on Sunday, as he hosted the Russian president at his family's oceanfront home for talks on Iran, a proposed U.S. missile shield and independence for Kosovo.
A few hours before Putin arrived, more than a thousand protesters rallied near the Kennebunkport summer house of Bush's father, former President George H.W. Bush, to vent anger over the Iraq war and U.S. foreign policy.
