Putin says summit with Trump 'very successful'

Source: Agence France-Presse



16 JUL 2018

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday said his summit meeting with US leader Donald Trump was "very successful", following several hours of talks in Helsinki.

The leaders touched on issues including tensions on the Korean peninsula and the situation in Syria during their first summit, Putin said at a joint press conference.

"I consider them (the talks) very successful and useful," Putin said, praising the "frank and business-like atmosphere" of the summit. He said Trump had raised accusations of Russian interference in US elections.

"I had to repeat what I have already said many times before -- the Russian state has never interfered and is not planning to interfere in the USA's internal affairs," Putin said.

retreat behind closed doors and when they emerge Thump seemed docile/intimidated/servile, take your pick. Then in front of the whole world he has Thump not only kiss his ass but lay down at his feet and beg to have his ample stomach rubbed. Thump botched the last trick though, as he was supposed to balance that soccer ball on his nose while flapping his fins.

Alpha dog as master showman! Quite the success!
