Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer Charles (Chuck) Ellis SchumerBrennan fires back at 'selfish' Trump over Harry Reid criticism Trump rips Harry Reid for 'failed career' after ex-Dem leader slams him in interview Harry Reid: 'I don't see anything' Trump is doing right MORE (D-N.Y.) is knocking President Trump for not having a "specific agenda" for his upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and making suggestions for what the two leaders could discuss.

"It's baffling that @POTUS doesn't have a specific agenda for the Putin meeting," Schumer tweeted on Wednesday.

The Democratic senator added that he would offer the "first few things that come to my mind" before tweeting roughly a dozen suggestions for topics of conversation.

Trump is holding a high-stakes meeting with the Russian president later this week, marking their first face-to-face meeting since Trump took office.

Schumer suggested that Trump bring up Russia's election interference and urged the House to pass the Senate's sanctions bill, which was stalled by a procedural roadblock and pushback from the White House.

The FBI and multiple congressional committees are investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, and the Senate passed the tougher Russia sanctions in a 98-2 vote last month.

Schumer also urged Trump to bring up Russia's annexation of Crimea, ongoing support for separatist fighters in eastern Ukraine and Syrian President Bashar Assad, as well as Moscow's pushback against NATO and "coercion" of U.S. allies in eastern Europe.

Schumer's tweets come after national security adviser H.R. McMaster told reporters late last week that there was "no specific agenda" for the Trump-Putin meeting.

"It's really going to be whatever the president wants to talk about. And ... he will talk with many other leaders during the conference as well," he said, referring to the Group of 20 summit where Putin and Trump will meet.

Pressed on whether Trump would bring up Russia's election interference, Gary Cohn, the director of the National Economic Council, reiterated that "we don't have an agenda set up for these meetings right now. ... We're still finalizing schedules."

Top aides for Trump are worried about what the president will say during his meeting, according to The New York Times, with experts predicting any move to ally with the Russian president would backfire for the administration.
