President Trump said shortly before landing in Japan Sunday that he expects to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin during his 12-day trip to Asia.
Trump told a gaggle of reporters during his flight to Japan that the two are expecting to meet to discuss North Korea.
“I think it’s expected we’ll meet with Putin, yeah. We want Putin’s help on North Korea, and we’ll be meeting with a lot of different leaders,” Trump said.
The comment comes after Trump suggested earlier this week that the two world leaders might meet.
Asked Thursday by Fox News host Laura Ingraham on “The Ingraham Angle” whether he will speak with Putin on his trip, Trump said, “We may have a meeting with Putin. And, again — Putin is very important because they can help us with North Korea.”

Russia has a global strategy of making life difficult for the US+Allies. An indirect spoiler strategy. Many places. DPRK is 1 of the big 1s.

The only place Putin is going to help us is over a cliff.
