France powered its way to the second World Cup title in its history on Sunday, storming past Croatia at Luzhniki Stadium in a dominant 4-2 triumph.

Trump has 'low expectations' for first formal summit with Putin

(White House national security adviser John Bolton said Sunday it's " hard to believe" Putin was unaware of the hack.) After a turbulent diplomatic trip to Brussels and London last week to meet with European allies, Trump's relationship with Putin will be scrutinized as much for its domestic political implications as it international significance.
