In the meeting Trump addressed different issues - addressing US responsibility to the "one China approach" without concessions from Beijing, and hailing Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson, who is under thought for secretary of state, as "a world class player."
However, the contention over the most recent US insight agreement on Russia and Trump's suspicion of the discoveries overwhelmed the discussion during a period of developing political divisions over how to react to the hacking assaults.
Two top Republican congresspersons - John McCain and Lindsey Graham - joined driving Democrats Sunday in calling for more noteworthy open divulgence about "late digital assaults that have sliced to the heart of our free society."
"This can't turn into a fanatic issue. The stakes are too high for our nation," they said in a joint articulation with Chuck Schumer, the approaching Democratic pioneer in the Senate, and Jack Reed, the positioning Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee.
They vowed to work crosswise over partisan principals to have the episodes researched, however different Republicans said the proof does not bolster the conclusions that the Russian interfering was gone for besting.
Adam Schiff, the positioning Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said the hacking was certainly the work of the Russians.
"This was not China. This wasn't a 400-pound fellow in New Jersey or any other person," Schiff said, deriding comparable remarks Trump has made. "This was the Russians."
Trump's eagerness to slight the insight group's "mind-boggling confirmation" was "uncommonly harming," he said.
CIA finding
US insight has beforehand connected Russia to holes of harming email from Democratic competitor Hillary Clinton's crusade yet considered it to be a wide offered to undermine trust in the US political process.
On Friday, in any case, the Washington Post reported that the CIA has since presumed that the point of the digital interruptions was to Trump win the decision.
The New York Times cited senior organization authorities as saying there seemed to be "high certainty" that the Russians hacked both the Democratic and Republican National Committees, however released just reports harming to Clinton through WikiLeaks.
Reince Priebus, the Republican National Committee director and Trump's approaching White House head of staff, said the FBI had explored and told the RNC it had not been hacked.

Trump proposed he had little trust in the US insight offices and would clean house once in office.
"Will have distinctive individuals coming in on the grounds that we have our kin, they have their kin."
Trump has kept the US insight group at a careful distance since his decision, distinctly shunning their day by day preparation on world dangers.
"I get it when I require it," he said.
"You know, I'm a keen individual. I don't need to be told a similar thing and similar words each and every day for the following eight years."
Exxon chief for state?
Moscow's thought processes have attracted consideration part since Trump has regularly commended Russian President Vladimir Putin as a solid pioneer, overlooking his activities in Ukraine and Syria.
Trump, who is relied upon to name a secretary of express this week, is accounted for to have settled on Rex Tillerson, the Exxon boss, as his top decision.
Tillerson's nearby binds to Putin have raised worries among a few officials, yet Trump sees the oil official's Russian dealings as an or more.
"For his situation, he's a great deal more than a business official. He's a world class player," Trump said of the 64-year-old Texan, who has run Exxon since 2006.
"To me, an extraordinary preferred standpoint is he knows a considerable lot of the players. Furthermore, he knows them well. He does enormous arrangements in Russia. He does monstrous arrangements for the organization, not for himself," he said.
McCain communicated worry that Tillerson was excessively near Putin, and told CBS' Face the Nation that the arrangements they have done together "would shading his way to deal with Vladimir Putin and the Russian risk."
Crude nerve
On China, Trump touched a crude nerve by addressing whether the United States ought to proceed with its "one China strategy" without concessions from Beijing on exchange and different issues, undermining to overturn many years of Sino-American discretion.
"I don't need China managing to me," Trump said as he made a passionate safeguard of his late telephone discussion with the president of Taiwan.
"I don't know why we must be bound by a one China approach unless we make an arrangement with China doing with different things, including exchange," he included.
He was reacting to a question about accepting a call prior this month from Tsai Ing-wen, the pioneer of Taiwan, a self-decision island that Beijing considers a rebel territory anticipating unification.
