Trump, Putin in Helsinki: US president's refusal to confront Russia on election meddling leaves Washington unsettled

Firstpost  

To outrage in Washington, president Donald Trump has lent weight to Russian denials of meddling in US elections at his inaugural summit with Vladimir Putin, where the pair championed a fresh start in relations between the world’s leading nuclear powers. Helsinki: To outrage in Washington, president Donald Trump has lent weight to Russian denials of meddling in US elections at his inaugural summit with Vladimir Putin, where the pair championed a fresh start in relations between the world’s leading nuclear powers. I will say this: I don’t see any reason why it would be.” Friday’s US indictment of 12 Russian military intelligence agents exploded with embarrassing timing for Trump as he prepared to meet Putin. “However, I also recognize that in order to build a brighter future, we cannot exclusively focus on the past - as the world’s two largest nuclear powers, we must get along.” The tweet came after Trump’s seeming disavowal of his own FBI and intelligence agencies had immediately provoked a firestorm back home, even in his own party.
