Finland has a long legacy of hosting U.S.-Soviet and U.S.-Russian summits because of its geographic location and perceived neutrality.
Back home, news of Russian interference in the 2016 elections continued to dominate the headlines – particularly after the Justice Department announced indictments against 12 Russian military intelligence officials suspected of hacking.
National security adviser John Bolton says Trump has a stronger hand going into the Russia summit because of the charges against the 12 Russian military intelligence officials.
Bolton tells ABC’s This Week on Sunday that the indictments show that the American justice system is aware of Russian efforts to meddle in U.S. elections.

He says Trump can now say to Putin that ‘this is a serious matter that we need to talk about.’
Trump has said he will raise the issue when he sits down with Putin in Helsinki on Monday.
Bolton also says he finds it ‘hard to believe’ that the Russian intelligence officials could conduct such an operation without Putin’s knowledge.
Earlier on Sunday, Trump said ‘nothing bad … maybe some good’ will come out of his summit with Putin.
Trump says in a television interview that he’s going into the meeting with ‘low expectations. I’m not going with high expectations.’
The president also tells CBS News that he ‘hadn’t thought’ about asking Putin to extradite the dozen Russian military intelligence officers indicted this past week in Washington on charges related to the hacking of Democratic targets in the 2016 U.S. election, but says that ‘certainly I’ll be asking about it.’
The United States has no extradition treaty with Moscow and can’t compel Russia to hand over citizens, and a provision in Russia’s constitution prohibits extraditing its citizens to foreign countries.
