Democrat fears Putin will outwit Trump at summit

Mr Trump’s meeting with the Russian President comes days after 12 Russian intelligence officers were indicted in the USA over alleged of Democrats ahead of the 2016 U.S. election.

Finland’s largest newspaper is welcoming President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin with a series of billboards ahead of their long-awaited summit – mocking their notoriously bad relationships with the media with pointed messages of freedom of the press.

“All I can do is say, ‘Did you?'” Trump said days ago at a news conference in Brussels.

Mr Trump also repeated his earlier criticism of the Obama administration, which was in power when the alleged hacking of Democratic party officials took place. He also stated that he has “low expectations”, and that “I’ll let you know after the meeting” about goals for the meeting, according to the NY Post. “I think that getting along with Russian Federation is a good thing”, Trump told the program.

“Having meetings with Russia, China, North Korea, I believe in it”.

In a meeting last week with other North Atlantic Treaty Organisation leaders, the president also took aim at Germany for supporting a pipeline deal with Russian Federation. Clinton, Trump’s opponent in the 2016 presidential election, tweeted on Sunday night.

Trump added that Russian and China are foes as well but in certain respects.

“I think the European Union is a foe”, he told CBS News.

Some 10,000 people marched Saturday through the Scottish capital of Edinburgh, while police tried to find a paraglider who breached a no-fly zone and flew a protest banner over the resort in western Scotland where Trump and his wife, Melania, are staying through Sunday.

The indictments formed part of an investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller that Trump has denounced as a “witch hunt” created to undermine the legitimacy of his surprise win over Hillary Clinton. “They were doing whatever it was during the Obama administration”, he told CBS’s Jeff Glor on “Face the Nation”.

On the call, Trump said, “I’ve already increased defense spending, modernized our nuclear weapons. It means that they are competitive”.

The top Democrat on the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee says he’s anxious about President Donald Trump meeting one on one with Russia’s Vladimir Putin during their summit in Finland.

Bolton claimed that the charges bolster Trump’s negotiating power when he meets with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Helsinki this week. Instead, Paul said Trump and other US officials should focus on safeguarding upcoming elections from interference.

Bolton was skeptical as to whether Trump would press Putin to extradite the 12 Russian agents to the United States, noting that the two countries do not have an extradition agreement.

In reality, the president is completely at odds with his own administration on Russian Federation; while Trump continues to cozy up to Putin, the federal agencies under him have adopted a traditionally hawkish Republican attitude. “What they do to us on trade”. And, in a stunning remark, he called the European Union a “foe” of the United States on trade matters.

Mr Trump and Mr Putin have met twice before, during global summits a year ago in Germany and Vietnam.

Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in his interview to Larry King that if the two leaders can “re-open all the channels [of dialogue] on both divisive issues.and those issues where we can usefully cooperate”, such an outcome would be “ideal”. Trump also told Morgan he “had a great feeling” during his meeting with the queen and discussed with her the complexities of the Brexit issue.
