The Memo: Five things to watch in Trump-Putin meeting

What will Trump say about Russian meddling?
.......
But Trump has been much more equivocal on the issue, which arose again during a news conference with Polish President Andrzej Duda on Thursday.
In response to a question about election interference from Hallie Jackson of NBC News, Trump said: “I agree, I think it was Russia — but I think it was probably other people and/or countries. And I see nothing wrong with that statement. Nobody really knows. Nobody really knows for sure.”
The problem for Trump is that failure to raise the issue with Putin will only fuel criticism from his domestic political enemies. They already say he is too closely aligned with the Russian president.
The Kremlin would, presumably, be happy to inform the media if Trump decides against talking about the topic at all.
