Trump-Putin Meeting Raises Red Flags for National Security Experts
by ROBERT WINDREM JUL 19 2017, 6:20 PM ET
President Donald Trump's just-disclosed hourlong meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin during the G-20 summit using a Kremlin translator, with no national security staff present may have damaged U.S. interests, according to some national security experts.
With no other witness or note-taker of the sort normally present on the American side, there's no guarantee that Trump or Putin's words were translated correctly or that Trump didn't give away more classified information, as he did when top Russian officials came to the White House in May.
