MFA Russia ???? ? @mfa_russia We agree Donald J. Trump ? @realDonaldTrump Our relationship with Russia has NEVER been worse thanks to many years of U.S. foolishness and stupidity and now, the Rigged Witch Hunt! 5:24 AM - Jul 16, 2018
That is the Russian foreign ministry agreeing with the American president that the relationship between the two countries is bad because the U.S. is investigating Russia’s efforts to throw the last U.S. election to the president now tweeting that Russia is not to blame for problems in the relationship. Just to be clear.
Trump then went on to kick off his meeting with Putin by saying that “We have discussions on everything from trade to military to missiles, to nuclear, to China”—but not Russia’s extensive interference in U.S. elections. https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-putin-helsinki/index.html
