Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump said Thursday he is "looking forward" to meeting again with Russian President Vladimir Putin to "begin implementing" issues they discussed during their summit earlier this week.

Trump, who touched off a major political controversy with his embrace of Putin in Helsinki, Finland, accused the news media -- which he again dubbed the "enemy of the people" -- of distorting the summit and pining for a confrontation between the US and Russia.

In a series of tweets Thursday morning, Trump argued his summit with Putin "was a great success."
"The Summit with Russia was a great success, except with the real enemy of the people, the Fake News Media," Trump said. "I look forward to our second meeting so that we can start implementing some of the many things discussed, including stopping terrorism, security for Israel, nuclear proliferation, cyber attacks, trade, Ukraine, Middle East peace, North Korea and more."

The Summit with Russia was a great success, except with the real enemy of the people, the Fake News Media. I look forward to our second meeting so that we can start implementing some of the many things discussed, including stopping terrorism, security for Israel, nuclear........

Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 19, 2018


"There are many answers, some easy and some hard, to these problems...but they can ALL be solved!" Trump tweeted.

Putin has signaled in the wake of his summit with Trump that he and the US President reached several agreements, but neither Trump nor the White House have confirmed any substantive agreements between the two countries.

Trump's tweets on Thursday come as he has alternated between trying to quell a political uproar over his comments in Helsinki -- he refused to back the US intelligence community's assessment of Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election during a joint news conference with Putin, instead touting Putin's strong denials -- and his desire to not back down or apologize over his performance.

Trump subsequently said he misspoke, but has not acknowledged that he repeatedly put the US intelligence community's assessment and Putin's denials on the same footing.

Instead, Trump has used his clean-up remarks to again insist that there was "no collusion" between his campaign and Moscow, while also insisting that it "could be other people also" who interfered in the 2016 election.

And while he later acknowledged in an interview with CBS News that Putin was responsible for the effort to undermine the election, he only attributed that responsibility to Putin being "in charge of the country." The New York Times later reported, and the former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper confirmed to CNN, that Trump was briefed on specific US intelligence indicating that Putin personally ordered the 2016 Russian influence campaign.

Trump on Wednesday again reignited the controversy when he replied "no" when asked if Russia is still targeting the United States, directly contradicting the current Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders claimed later in the day that Trump was saying "no" to answering additional questions.

Meanwhile, Trump has railed throughout the week at the news media, blaming reporters for negative coverage of the summit, even though much of the reporting has focused on Republicans' condemnations.

Trump's "enemy of the people" attack on Thursday marked the second time Trump has emerged from a summit with a dictator who has restricted press freedoms and subsequently attacked the news media as an "enemy."

"Our Country's biggest enemy is the Fake News so easily promulgated by fools!" Trump tweeted last month after he drew heat for overplaying the outcome of his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Fox news is too much on Trump's side to be fake. CNN reports AGAINST the president. That's fake.

Why do people think I care about what Trump thinks about the media? I've known the media have been huge liars since I was a kid so idk why people would trust them now.

I don't trust Trump either, but this whole "we should feel sorry for Trump bashing the media" bit is hilariously silly to me. I don't care about a bunch of corporate stooges telling us what to think.

But if we normalize relations with Russia, how will we keep funneling hundreds of billions of dollars to the beltway military industrial complex? Thank goodness we have the corporate media (who has such a great track record when it comes to fear mongering and war mongering) to keep the hysteria at a high level. Cold War 2.0 will be one hell of a pay day.

He's actually said he wants to change the libel laws so he can sue everyone that says anything mean about him. He'd absolutely axe the first amendment the first opportunity he got.

I mean he said he was envious at how everyone listened to Kim Jong-un in his country. So the dude would love to be a dictator.

Can Trumpeteers stop making post like this? You don't want the left in power, so stop giving advice and warnings.

It's still really sad that presidents fighting the first amendment and buddying up to dictators is a fucking partisan issue. This country deserves to crash and burn.

Calm down there snowflake lmao. I'm not a "Trumpeteer", that's merely an observation and damn near a fact. If the left keeps going with the temper tantrums, "Russia Investigation (LMFAO) and hate speech, they're going to lose again.

Don't take everything so personally, lol. Anyone can see we're on track for another 4 years of Trump.

Yes he is, because the media is not a single, well-defined organization. It's the same as saying, "scientists" or "fireman". It's a description of the job, not the beliefs or actions of every single person in that industry.

More importantly, news is absolutely, 100% vital in democracy. Democracy can't exist without it.
