Trump jr’s meeting with Russian ‘not on’

WASHINGTON: A majority of US voters say it was not appropriate for one of US President Donald Trump’s sons to accept an offer to meet with a Russian lawyer who promised “damaging information” about Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election.

According to the Politico/ Morning Consult poll released last week, 52% voters say a meeting between Donald Trump jr and the Russian lawyer was inappropriate, compared with 23% who say the meeting was appropriate.

The remaining 25% have no opinion, the poll said.

While Republicans are less troubled by the meeting, with 44% saying the meeting was appropriate, four in five Democrats regard the meeting as inappropriate, the poll showed. Xinhua
