Donald Trump has told Vladimir Putin not to meddle in the 2020 US election, smirking and pointing his finger as he did so and appearing to make light of a scandal that led to a two-year investigation into his campaign’s contact with the Kremlin during the 2016 election. Asked by a reporter whether he would raise the issue during a meeting with Putin, Trump said: “Yes, of course I will.” The US president then turned to his Russian counterpart to give the directive twice while pointing at him. Putin maintained a smile as the remark was interpreted for him. The two leaders were heading into talks on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Japan’s western city of Osaka, their first formal face-to-face meeting since a high-profile summit in Helsinki last July. Relations between the two countries have been sour for years, worsening after Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 and backed Bashar al-Assad in the Syrian war. In a recent television interview, Putin said … [Read more...] about Smirking Trump jokes to Putin: don’t meddle in US election

Trump reveled in visit with Queen, history and his family
Limerick, Ireland (CNN)It was the presidential version of what-I-did-on-my-summer-vacation: Buckingham Palace to see bearskin-hatted guards; Normandy for the hallowed rows of fallen American heroes; and the west of Ireland for a round of golf on the Atlantic-facing links. For a man who would rather remain in his own bedroom than venture abroad, President Donald Trump this week appeared to savor the sightseeing aspects of his visit to Europe, where foreign counterparts eager to instill a sense of weighted history in the President (and his extended family) played tour guide and docent. Trump's inner-tourist emerged as he slowly paced Buckingham Palace's Picture Gallery with the 93-year-old monarch, lingering over displays of old maps and a strategically selected swatch of yellow fabric -- a piece of MacLeod tartan, the family of Trump's mother. He made a stop at the warren of rooms from which Winston Churchill directed the war effort, a must-stop in every London guidebook and a … [Read more...] about Trump reveled in visit with Queen, history and his family

Donald Trump meets the Queen at start of UK state visit
Donald Trump breezed into Buckingham Palace aboard Marine One on Monday morning, as Tory leadership contenders braced themselves for presidential interventions in the race. The US president and the first lady, Melania Trump, landed on the Queen’s lawn in their helicopter for the full British bells and whistles state visit, including two 41-gun salutes, a guard of honour and a banquet. There was even a wall – the high one which encloses Buckingham Palace gardens – which served to keep Trump well away from the public at the start of his three-day visit, most of which will be conducted behind closed doors and well away from the planned protests. Security concerns meant the ceremonial welcome was held on the palace lawn instead of nearby Horse Guards Parade. So there was no carriage ride, thus no risk of a repeat of the welcome afforded China’s president, Xi Jinping, who ran the gauntlet of mass protests along the Mall. The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall … [Read more...] about Donald Trump meets the Queen at start of UK state visit
