Trump to Russia: stop backing 'hostile regimes'
US President Donald Trump is calling on Russia to stop its destabilizing activities in Ukraine.
He's also calling on Moscow to end its support for "hostile regimes." Trump specifically called out Syria and Iran.
Trump instead urged Russia to join the "community of responsible nations" in its fight against common enemies and the defense of civilization.
Trump's plea to Russia comes a day before his first face-to-face meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin annexed the Crimean Peninsula in 2014, which the US does not recognize. Russia also supports separatist elements operating in Ukraine.
Trump included the message to Russia in a public address during a quick visit to Poland.
