Trump jokes and asks Putin not to interfere in the elections of 2020

President Donald Trump joked Friday about the alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US elections and told his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, with whom he met in Osaka (Japan), not to interfere in the 2020 elections. Do not meddle in the elections, please do not meddle, "Trump said with a big smile answering a question of whether he was going to ask Putin not to interfere in the 2020 elections. The meeting was the first between the two leaders since they met in July last year in Helsinki (Finland). It is a great honor to be with President Putin, we have very, very good relations, "Trump said before the meeting, as part of the G20 summit in Osaka. Their relationship is marked by accusations of alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US elections that brought Trump to power. Special prosecutor Robert Mueller, responsible for the investigation into the interference, said there was a Russian campaign to influence the 2016 elections. According to the prosecutor there was contact between Russian operatives and the Trump campaign but there is no evidence of a conspiracy, conclusions that according to the US president exonerate him of any responsibility.
