Helsinki summit: Presidents Trump and Putin's relationship

Mr Trump says his face-to-face meeting in Helsinki with Mr Putin was "a good start"

From collusion and meddling to wanting US-Russia relations reset, were President Trump and President Putin on the same page at their summit in Helsinki? We speak to Harry Kazianis the director of defense studies at the Center for the National Interest in Washington. Also on the programme, EU leaders President Jean-Claude Juncker and Donald Tusk head to China and Japan seeking to restore global trade. We speak to Christina Davis, professor of politics at Havard University. Our reporter at the Farnborough Air Show tells us how global trade tensions are causing turbulence there. Plus contributions from Peter Morici, Professor of International Trade at the University of Maryland and Simon Littlewood, President of AC Growth Delivered, in Singapore.
