Trump will meet Putin next week

US president under pressure over Moscow's alleged meddling

WASHINGTON - Meeting face-to-face with Russian President Vladimir Putin, President Donald Trump's "America First" policy will be put to the test if he opts to confront Russia over intelligence that Moscow meddled in last year's presidential election.

US national security adviser H.R. McMaster said on Thursday that Trump will meet with Putin along the sidelines of the annual Group of 20 meeting in Hamburg, Germany - part of an itinerary that will include meetings with several world leaders.
