Were on these two men and what they might give away about the ties between them. For his entire time in office, Donald Trumps been plagued with questions he just doesnt want to hear over what Vladimir Putin might have done to get him elected.

It may be a strange thing to happen. But it is certainly a possibility. If it did happen, it would be a good thing for, i can tell you, and north korea, but it would also be good for lots of other places and it would be good for the world. So certainly, it is something that could happen. I do know that it will, but it would be very, very nice if it did. Well, President Trump is now in hanoi on the last leg of his five nation tour.
