US President Donald Trump is keeping expectation low for his high-stakes summit with Russia's Vladimir Putin, saying "nothing bad is going to come out of it, and maybe some good will come out".
The president also told CBS News in an interview 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 US election. But after being given the idea by his interviewer, Trump said "certainly I'll be asking about it".
