WASHINGTON President Trump on Sunday said he had strongly pressed President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia about election meddling during their first face-to-face meeting last week but did not dispute Moscows claim that he had accepted Mr. Putins denial of involvement, as he declared it time to move forward in a constructive United States relationship with Russia.
Mr. Trumps account of his lengthy and closely scrutinized closed-door meeting with Mr. Putin, which came in a thread of morning Twitter posts, was his attempt to move beyond the controversy that has followed the session after Moscow characterized the election discussion as a meeting of the minds rather than a showdown between the American president and his Russian counterpart.
Mr. Trumps tweets did little to dispel that notion, as he characterized his own position as an opinion and asserted that he was prepared to team with Moscow which American intelligence agencies say meddled in the election last year, and will attempt to again on forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit to thwart future breaches.
I strongly pressed President Putin twice about Russian meddling in our election, Mr. Trump said in the post. He vehemently denied it. Ive already given my opinion.
