WASHINGTON (WMAL) – President Trump stated in a tweet “We cannot exclusively focus on the past” regarding U.S.-Russian relations following Monday’s summit held at Helsinki, Finland.
As I said today and many times before, “I have GREAT confidence in MY intelligence people.” However, I also recognize that in order to build a brighter future, we cannot exclusively focus on the past – as the world’s two largest nuclear powers, we must get along! #HELSINKI2018
