Putin was accused of interfering with the election, seeing Trump triumph over democrat leader Hillary Clinton, something that US citizens were hoping would be addressed in Monday’s summit in Helsinki.
One of these citizens was former Presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, who took to her Twitter account to post, ‘Great World Cup. Question for President Trump as he meets Putin: Do you know which team you play for?’
