With a Smile, Trump Tells Putin at G20 Not to Meddle in U.S. Elections
----------------------------------------------------------------------

World leaders gathered in Japan today for the opening of the two-day G20
summit, which is expected to focus on Iran and the U.S.-China trade war.
Earlier today, President Trump met with Russian President Vladmir Putin.
When a reporter asked if Trump would raise Russia's meddling in U.S.
elections, Trump smirked and then pointed his finger at Putin in a
light-hearted way, telling him, "Don't meddle in the election."

Reporter: "Mr. President, will you tell Russia not to meddle in the 2020
election?"

President Donald Trump: "Don't meddle in the election. Don't meddle in
the election."
