From inside russia for a long time. so talk about what youre seeing ahead of that meeting and the way that the u.s. president is trying to manage expectations. >> well, thaefrt. i think that certainly in one way he has an easy job of it in the sense that donald trump has set a pretty low bar to jump over if your goal is to say i looked putin in the eye and i talked tough with him, thats going to be easy. the other day you had trump, in fact, reminding us how much he had a bizarre affinity for th...
