Jul 2017

was the main purpose of the meeting. Putin and Trump are waiting for the right time to lift the sanctions.

Trump seems to think that if he asks Putin point blank about the election inference

a) Putin will honestly admit to it

and

b) we will accept that has not only a brilliant tactical move but excellent diplomancy.

Most of the rest of the meeting was also scripted by Putin and Trump to convince us that Putin is an honest statesman willing to work with US on many issues. This image was furthered by the extended meeting which was to promote the idea that Putin and Trump have lots of topics that they can agree on .
