Vince Coglianese: Russian Interference Seems Pretty Unlikely To Dominate Trump-Putin Meeting

‘That would also be relitigating the past because there are two pressing issues that exist’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
COGLIANESE: "The Russian interference in the election seems like it’s pretty unlikely to dominate the conversation. You already have Vladamir Putin declaring it to be total nonsense in public. Whether or not that was true. So this seems pretty unlikely that he’ll do an about-face in a meeting with President Trump. That would also be relitigating the past because there are two pressing issues that exist. That’s handling both Syria and now all of a sudden top of that list North Korea. Russia’s pressuring the United States and North Korea today to sort of cool down all of their military actions in the region. But it sort of seems like Russia’s using this as a pretext in order to descale the American presence in the region. They want missile defense systems, for instance, to be yanked out and not to be used in the protection of places like South Korea. I think there will be a lot of things on the table especially now that we’ve seen an ICBM tested by the North Koreans."
