My Meeting With Putin Is None Of Your Business - Donald Trump
President of the United States, Donald Trump had on
Wednesday revealed he will be meeting with Russian President, Vladimir Putin at
the G20 summit in Japan but told journalists that the contents of the talks are
“none of your business.”
The keenly awaited meeting is overshadowed by a probe into
Trump’s relations with Russia and controversy that erupted the last time he
held talks with the Kremlin leader in Finland in 2018.
Speaking with reporters at the White House, Trump said: “I’ll have a very good conversation with him,
what I say to him is none of your business.”
Trump has been dogged throughout his presidency by
allegations of suspicious ties to Russia.
A major probe led by special prosecutor Robert Mueller found
there was an organized Russian campaign to influence the 2016 election won by
Trump. It found contacts between Russian operatives and Trump’s election
campaign, but no evidence of a joint plot.
It also detailed Trump’s interest in a big potential real
estate deal in Moscow well into his election year of 2016.
Trump has characterized Mueller’s findings as a complete
exoneration. However, he remains under fire from opponents for what they say is
his consistently opaque relationship with Putin.
In Helsinki last year, Trump refused at a joint press
conference with Putin to criticize Russian interference in the 2016 election
and said that he believed the Russian leader’s denials.
After an earlier meeting in Germany, Trump ordered the
interpreter to hand over his notes and he has refused to say what the
conversation with Putin was about.
