As of Thursday it was unclear what if anything the President on behalf of the United States agreed to in his meeting with President Putin.

Russia media is reporting that President Trump and Putin agreed to strengthen the STAR treaty that is set to expire in 2021, they are also reporting that Russia is determined to save the Iran deal, “We disagree with the US here. We are clearly in favor of preserving the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on Iran’s nuclear program. There is a mechanism that has proved its viability.

At the time of this post it is unclear when actually or in what context that video of Hillary Clinton is, but twitter is reporting it’s from around 2010, when the President of Russia was Dmitry Medvedev.
