U.S. President Trump plans to confront Russian President Vladimir Putin on Moscow’s “malign activity” around the globe, including election meddling when they meet next week, top administration officials said July 5.

Jon Huntsman, U.S. ambassador to Russia, said Mr. Trump wants to improve relations but isn’t letting Mr. Putin off the hook for aggression in Ukraine and interfering in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
