Trump and Putin to hold joint press conference

The White House announced late last month that Putin and Trump would be meeting on July 16 as the president seeks to improve relations with Moscow, but this is the first confirmation that the two will address the media together.

"There should be no one-on-one meeting between this president and Mr. Putin. There needs to be other Americans in the room," Senate Intelligence Committee ranking Democrat Mark Warner (Va.) told reporters on Friday.
