International desk: US President Donald Trump left Britain on Sunday after a visit in which his criticism of Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit plans overshadowed attempts to present a strengthened bilateral relationship.
Trump was heading to Helsinki for a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday, Reuters reported.
US President Trump has said he has “low expectations” for his meeting with Russia's Vladimir Putin in Finland on Monday.
But he told CBS News that “nothing bad” and “maybe some good” would come out of the encounter.
He also said he would raise the subject of 12 Russians indicted for alleged hacking during the 2016 US election – but “hadn't thought” about asking for their extradition, according to BBC report.
Russia denies the allegations.
There are no extradition arrangements between Russia and the US.
There have been calls in the US for Mr Trump to cancel his meeting with Mr Putin over the indictments, announced on Friday by US Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
Sunday also saw a protest march against the summit in Helsinki, Finland's capital. Demonstrators chanted “media must be free”, and carried a banner calling for human rights.
