The White House has said that President Donald Trump has warned Russia against any attempt to interfere in the 2020 presidential polls.
The warning by Trump, who met Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at his Oval office yesterday, came a day after the Justice Department’s watchdog said the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was justified in opening its investigation into ties between the Trump presidential campaign and Russia.
Lavrov, however, said that they did not discuss the US elections during the meeting. This was the second meeting between Trump and Lavrov. Lavrov last visited the US in May 2017 when Trump had just fired the then Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) director James Comey, who was probing Russia’s meddling in the US polls at the time.
