While meeting with foreign leaders during the G20 summit in Japan and in visiting North and South Korea's Demilitarized Zone in recent days, President Donald Trump had no shortage of compliments to offer several authoritarian leaders, despite accusations against them of holding a firm grasp on their citizens' freedom, murdering journalists and operating corrupt legal systems.
"Don't meddle in the election," Trump said to Putin with a smile after a reporter asked whether he would tell the foreign leader not to again try and interfere in the 2020 election.
