Helsinki Summit

The Helsinki Summit was a high-level meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin held in July 2018. It aimed to discuss issues like national security, nuclear arms, and the relationship between the two countries amid ongoing concerns about election interference and global stability. The summit was significant because it was a rare direct dialogue between the leaders, seeking to improve communication and address mutual concerns. Its outcomes included statements on cooperation and stability, though some aspects of the meeting drew controversy and scrutiny from the public and politicians.
