Trump to Putin: I really think the world wants to see us get along

Opening up the Helsinki summit, US President Donald Trump tells Russian President Vladimir Putin that he thinks “the world wants to see us get along.”

While Trump acknowledges the poor relations between Washington and Moscow over recent years, he says he hopes an “extraordinary relationship” can be built.

In listing the topics he plans to discuss with Putin, the US president does not mention the issue of Russia’s hacking of the US elections.

In response, Putin tells Trump that “the time has to come to talk in a substantive way.”
