WW3: Rex Tillerson reveals ‘low level of trust’ between Trump and Putin – Daily Star

THE Trump administration has admitted there is a "low level of trust" between the US and Russia after Rex Tillerson finally met Vladimir Putin for tense talks today.

The US Secretary of State spoke with the Russian President in the Kremlin to discuss the war in Syria.

They spoke for almost two hours before Tillerson said relations between Moscow and Washington are "at a low point" marked by serious distrust.
