Trump and Putin
Mike Pence: Trump "will always put the prosperity and security of America first"
Vice President Pence is speaking at the Commerce Department today and mentioned President Trump's meeting with Putin at the top of his remarks.
"The world saw once again that President Donald Trump stands without apology as leader of the free world," Pence said.
"Earlier today, President Trump completed what he described as a direct, open, and deeply productive dialogue with President Putin in Helsinki. As the President said, it was a constructive day. But it was only the beginning."
Pence continued: "Disagreements between our countries were discussed at length, and what the world saw, and the American people saw, is that President Donald Trump will always put the prosperity and security of America first."
Since the meeting — in which Trump declined to side with US intelligence on Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election — numerous Republicans and Democrats have criticized his performance.
John McCain, John Cornyn, Trey Gowdy, Bob Corker, Paul Ryan, Jeff Flake, Lindsey Graham, and Orrin Hatch, for example.
