WATCH: US President Donald Trump, with a smile, asks Vladimir Putin to not 'meddle' in the 2020 US Presidential elections. Here's how they colluded

While the infamous Robert Mueller report that investigates Russia's interference in the presidential elections, still clouds the US politics and has even threatened the chair of the President, Donald Trump managed to jest about the contentious presidential elections of 2016 during his bilateral meet with Russia President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of G20 Summit in Japan. The US President during a media interaction, with a smile on his face, asked the Russian President to not meddle in the US Presidential elections of 2020 and made a finger gesture. "Don't meddle in the election, please," said the US President, drawing a smile and silence from the Russian President.
