Fox News: Schumer Calls on Trump to Cancel Meeting with Putin Amid Indictments

KILMEADE: "All right. Tonight President Trump in Scotland right now at his golf club. After a busy day in England. He met with the prime minister. There was an army of protesters out there in London. Then he ended the day with the queen. Who didn’t end the day like that? John Roberts wasn’t invited in for tea but he watched all of it. How do you recap a day like this for the president?"
ROBERTS: "John: Well, the one thing I can say to you, Brian, I started the day with my tie on with you on “Fox & friends” and I’m finishing it with you tonight with the tie still on. The press conference that the president had with the British prime minister Theresa may and the working meetings they had at the luncheon in checkers her country home, given to my British prime minister. It doesn’t necessarily belong to her but a reset from what happened last night. Just as the president arrived here in the U.K., “The sun” tabloid came out with an interview they did with him on Wednesday. This was timed and was looked at as the president pulling the political rug out from underneath Theresa may’s feet. This thing really blew up because the president with her, what is called a soft Brexit plan, plan for the U.K. Leaving the European union it’s likely that the united States wasn’t going to be able to cut a trade deal with her. It sounded like the president was critical of her policies regarding Brexit. But he insisted today standing beside Theresa may he was not being critical of her and the two of them actually are probably going to be able to work something out on trade after the Brexit. Listen here."
TRUMP: "The only thing I ask of Theresa May is make sure we can trade, that we don’t have restrictions. We want to trade with the U.K. And the U.K. Wants to trade with us. We are by far their biggest trading partner. We have a tremendous opportunity to double, triple, quadruple that."
ROBERTS: "For her part, Theresa May insisted repeatedly when she takes Britain out of the European union in March of 2019, she will do so in a way to allow Britain to cut trade deals with the United States. Another big issue on the plate in their working meeting today the upcoming summit with Vladimir Putin. President Trump we are told was notified of the pending indictments against the 12 Russians so clearly he would have been coming to the issue today with the knowledge that was about to pop. In the press conference the president saying he will bring up the issue of meddling in the election with Putin Monday in Helsinki. Listen here."
TRUMP: "We will be talking about meddling. And I will absolutely bring that up. I don’t think you will have any, “Gee, I did it, I did it, you got me.” There won’t be a Perry mason here, I don’t think. You never know what happens. But I’ll absolutely firmly ask the question. Hopefully we’ll have a very good relationship with Russia."
ROBERTS: "Back in Washington, Democrats were saying that the president shouldn’t meet with Putin at all. He should cancel the meeting because of the indictments. The Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer in a statement saying President Trump should cancel the meeting with Vladimir Putin until Russia takes demonstrable and transparent steps to prove they won’t interfere in future elections. Glad handing on the heel of the indictment would be insult to our democracy.” On the way back from checkers and the press conference outside the president was shouted a question. 'Will you tell Vladimir Putin to stop meddling in U.S. Elections?' The answer coming back from the president, Brian, 'Yes.'”
