Expert: Trump-Putin summit raises big questions

"It was not a very good week for the republic," according to international law expert Allen Weiner.

On Monday, July 16, President Donald Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin for a summit in Helsinki, Finland. This meeting came just days after a summit with NATO allies in Brussels and a visit to the UK for a meeting with British Prime Minister Theresa May.

In this Q&A, international law expert Allen Weiner, a senior lecturer in law and director of the international and comparative law program at Stanford University Law School, discusses the outcomes of the Russian Summit and the controversial statements from President Trump after each meeting that have raised questions about his diplomatic style and leadership.
