US President Donald Trump has asked his administration to invite Russian leader Vladimir Putin to Washington later this year.
This comes after criticism of his summit in Helsinki with Putin earlier this week.
Trump has since backed away from Putin’s offer of reciprocal cooperation around the investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
