Analysis: Stubbs' golf round with Trump a diplomatic hit

The morning after the round of golf with Alexander Stubb, Trump turned on Putin. Now the Finnish president reveals what they talked about. – Trump is losing patience, say

Donald Trump is very angry with Vladimir Putin the day after he spent a day with Alexander Stubb. It's hardly a coincidence, writes Daniel Olin.

US President Donald Trump was interested in his Finnish counterpart Alexander Stubb whether Russian dictator Vladimir Putin could be trusted.

Stubb told British media how Trump's attitude towards Putin was reflected in bilateral discussions. President of the Republic Alexander Stubb commented frankly on US President Donald Trump's frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin in an interview with British media Sky News. Stubb and Trump met at Mar-a-Lago in Florida over the weekend. The presidents played golf together, among other things.

For weeks, the US and Russia have been largely unsuccessfully talking about a ceasefire in Ukraine. Now President Trump is said to have asked Finnish President Stubb if he can actually be trusted by the Russian President.

During an informal meeting with the President of Finland, the head of the White House asked him for his opinion about the Russian dictator.
