President Donald Trump on May 23 disputed a story based on comments from former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson claiming Trump was “out-prepared” by Russian President Vladimir Putin in the 2017 summit between the two countries.

Trump said Tillerson—who was fired by him in March 2018—lied about the details in the story which were first reported by The Washington Post. On Twitter, the president shot back at Tillerson, saying that it wasn’t him who was ill-prepared.
