Talking to them is one thing. All presidents have to talk to other world leaders.
Selling 20% of our weapons grade uranium to Russia (Hillary) is a whole different can of worms.
tell me why after an FBI investigation, a House Intelligence Committee inquiry, and 5 years of allegations, there was no evidence found for your conspiracy theory?

The Committee on Foreign Investments has nine members, including the secretaries of the treasury, state, defense, homeland security, commerce and energy; the attorney general; and representatives from two White House offices (the United States Trade Representative and the Office of Science and Technology Policy).
The committee can’t actually stop a sale from going through — it can only approve a sale. The president is the only one who can stop a sale, if the committee or any one member “recommends suspension or prohibition of the transaction,” according to guidelines issued by the Treasury Department in December 2008 after the department adopted its final rule a month earlier.
For this and other reasons, we have written that Trump is wrong to claim that Clinton “gave away 20 percent of the uranium in the United States” to Russia. Clinton could have objected — as could the eight other voting members — but that objection alone wouldn’t have stopped the sale of the stake of Uranium One to Rosatom.
“Only the President has the authority to suspend or prohibit a covered transaction,” the federal guidelines say.
We don’t know much about the committee’s deliberations because there are “strong confidentiality requirements” prohibiting disclosure of information filed with the committee, the Treasury Department says on its website. Some information would have become available if the committee or any one of its members objected to the sale. But none of the nine members objected.
its so insane to me that for every single thing you dont agree with, you apply a rigorous standard of truth but if the Cheeto man says it, its gospel. really really weird how you worship an absolute mongoloid of a human
