President Trump and Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin will on Saturday have their first official contact -- a much anticipate talk about future relations between two world powers with a complicate history, including recent reports that Putin and Russia tried to influence the 2016 White House race for Trump. Even the possibility of Trump lifting the sanctions has brought widespread concern, and criticism, from Washington Democrats and Republicans and from around the world. May’s White House trip made her the first world leader to visit Trump since he took office last week. Putin and Trump say they have never met, but they have expressed admiration for each other’s forceful leadership style. The U.S. intelligence services recently released a report that found Putin and Russia “meddled” in the White House race, in which Trump upset Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton.
