Trump and Vladimir Putin's news conference in Helsinki, on Monday, was the greatest love letter, or public capitulation, of an American President to his Russian counterpart in memory. Surely, Putin must have been pleased that Trump declined to press him on a single policy issue, and that he sided with Putin over his own intelligence chiefs in denying Russia's interference in the 2016 election.
Although President Donald Trump has met with Russia's Vladimir Putin twice before, he is eager to recreate in Finland the heady experience that he had last month with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore: a summit that became a mass media event complete with powerful presidential images.

The indictment stands as special counsel Robert Mueller's first allegation implicating the Russian government directly in criminal behaviour meant to sway the presidential election.
ELLESBOROUGH, England - The Friday indictment of a dozen Russian nationals for hacking into the Democratic National Committee landed days before President Donald Trump is set to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin, adding a stunning new dimension to a meeting already fraught with tension. Hours before Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced the charges, Trump vowed to ask Putin "firmly" about Moscow's involvement in the last presidential election, but he warned that the "stupidity" of domestic politics and the special counsel's ongoing probe into the issue was holding back U.S.-Russian relations.
