Trump's had some 'very good' chats with Putin
- 6 years ago
President Trump has an upcoming summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki on July 16.
It will be the most closely-watched interaction between the two leaders since Trump took office 18 months ago.
But the get-together is only the latest in a string of relatively friendly calls and meetings between the two.
These conversations have often drawn the scorn of Democrats and even occasionally hawkish Republicans.
The fear is that Trump is kowtowing to Putin’s aggressive tactics.
