WASHINGTON (AP) – President Donald Trump’s next meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin will focus on national security concerns the leaders discussed earlier this week in Finland.
A White House official says Friday that those issues include Russian meddling, nuclear proliferation, North Korea, Iran and Syria. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the official wasn’t authorized to discuss internal planning on the record. The official says the purpose is to follow up on progress achieved at Monday’s summit in Helsinki.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced Thursday that Trump has asked national security adviser John Bolton to invite Putin to Washington in the fall.
