Trump warns against Russian interference in U.S. elections

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday warned Russia not to interfere in U.S. elections during his meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who rejected any speculations about Russian interference in U.S. domestic politics.

“President Trump warned against any Russian attempts to interfere in United States elections,” the White House said in a statement regarding Trump’s meeting with Lavrov.
The top Russian diplomat, however, rejected any U.S. accusations on Russian meddling in U.S. domestic politics.

“We have highlighted once again that all speculations about our alleged interference in domestic processes in the United States are baseless; there are no facts that would support that,” Lavrov said in a joint press conference with his U.S. counterpart Mike Pompeo.

The two top diplomats discussed a wide range of issues on Tuesday, but little concrete achievement has been made given the overall frosty bilateral ties.
