In this Nov. 11, 2017, file photo, U.S. President Donald Trump, right, and Russia's President Vladimir Putin talk during the family photo session at the APEC Summit in Danang. Trump’s persistence in pursuing a bromance with Putin has highlighted a growing disconnect within his administration over Russia policy.
