US President Donald Trump does not want to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin this fall. Trump believes the next bilateral meeting should take place after the investigation into Russia's alleged interference in the US election campaign, said National Security Advisor John Bolton. For this reason, the scheduled meeting is scheduled to take place only after 1 January 2019.
At the first official summit between the two heads of state in Helsinki, Trump invited the Kremlin leader to Washington this autumn. Trump was heavily criticized for appearing at the joint press conference with Putin.
The Russian president denied any interference in the 2016 US presidential election in Helsinki. Trump's denunciation of Trump as "extremely strong and powerful" and therefore publicly opposed the badessment of US intelligence agencies that consider such interference to prove. Many times, the US President then made statements like these clear or refused them. He claimed that his controversial statement was a slip of the tongue.
A special investigator examines the alleged Russian meddling in the presidential election, and also verifies the collusion between Trump's electoral camp and Moscow. Trump has repeatedly referred to these investigations as "witch hunts".
Relations between the United States and Russia are as bad as they have been since the Cold War. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo again urged Russia on Wednesday to end the occupation of the Crimean Peninsula. The United States does not accept the Russian-Ukrainian Crimea annexed in 2014 as Russian.
