Reuters: Trump presses Putin at first meeting on interference in U.S. election
U.S. President Donald Trump pressed Vladimir Putin at their first meeting on Friday about Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said.

Trump promised a rapprochement with Moscow during his campaign for the presidency last year.

Trump says his team did not collude with Russia.
