Before the summit, Trump blamed previous administrations for the deterioration in relations between the US and Russia, tweeting:\u00a0\u201cOur relationship with Russia has NEVER been worse thanks to many years of U.S. foolishness and stupidity and now, the Rigged Witch Hunt!<\/em>\u201d \u2013 a reference to the ongoing and thus far unsuccessful Mueller investigation.<\/p>\n

The meeting took place amid opposition from both Democrats and Republicans at home. White House Special Counsel Robert Mueller indicted 12 \u2018Russian hackers\u2019 on Friday, and the news was expected to cast a cloud over the summit, despite the fact that the \u2018hackers\u2019\u2019 alleged offences took place during the Obama administration.<\/p>\n
