U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, with Syria topping the agenda.
The question of a meeting was seen as setting up a possible major political snub, especially as President Putin repeated the claim that the evidence sarin gas was used in Syria last week was invented and the Assad regime was framed.
In an interview with the Fox Business Network, U.S. President Donald Trump explained what message he felt Moscow needs to hear when it comes to their ally in Damascus.
IN: "Frankly, Putin...
OUT: ...an animal."
