Pompeo Warns Putin Against 2020 Election Meddling

The Associated Press reports:

On his first trip to Russia as U.S. Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo warned his Russian counterpart against any “unacceptable” Russian meddling in U.S. elections.

At a news conference following three hours of meetings Tuesday, Pompeo said he told Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov that any such action by the Russians in the 2020 elections “would put our relationship in an even worse place than it has been.”

Pompeo said there are “truly overlapping interests” that the two countries “can build on, and most importantly, President Trump very much wants to do that.”
