Trump to meet with Putin ?

President Donald Trump has been “singularly obsessed” with formally meeting Russian president Vladimir Putin — even if the summit risks blowing up the NATO alliance.

Talks have been underway for weeks to arrange a meeting — which Trump hoped would take place at the White House — against the advice of his staff, who warned the summit was politically risky at home and abroad.

Trump has had a “singular obsession” with formally meeting with Putin since he was inaugurated in January 2017 ... his focus has intensified since the Russian president was re-elected to a sixth term in March.

Two senior U.S. officials told the New Yorker they had been briefed on Trump’s order to staffers to plan for a Putin summit soon — possibly on the first leg of his trip to Europe next month.
That would take place before Trump attended the annual NATO summit.
Meeting with Putin before those allies would be “breaking every rule we’ve ever had,” the former U.S. official said.
