Trump has pushed for easing tensions between the former Cold War foes, exacerbated by U.S. intelligence findings that Russia meddled in the 2016 presidential election, trying to tilt the outcome to Trump.
Last week, Trumps national security team said Russia is behind pervasive attempts to interfere in the November midterm elections, in a rejection of denials of meddling that Putin made directly to Trump. Trump sparked outrage by accepting Putins word over that of his intelligence agencies at a Helsinki news conference.
Paul, one of the few Republicans to defend Trumps July 16 performance in Helsinki, said he had traveled to the Russian capital to encourage diplomacy amid tense relations between Moscow and Washington.
I was honored to deliver a letter from President Trump to President Vladimir Putins administration. The letter emphasized the importance of further engagement in various areas including countering terrorism, enhancing legislative dialogue and resuming cultural exchanges, Paul wrote in a Twitter post.
