President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met in Helsinki today for a closed one-on-one discussion and joint press conference. Trump has blamed the diplomatic efforts of former U.S. presidents, and the ongoing investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, for icy relations with Russia. We get a number of different viewpoints on the summit, and hear some extended clips from the press conference.

This program aired on July 16, 2018.
