Kremlin prepares for Putin-Trump meeting
Russian Presidential Aide Yuri Ushakov said that Kremlin experts plan to prepare the agenda for the meeting of Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump during the coming G-20 Summit in Argentina, Interfax News reported. He said that during their meeting in Paris, the leaders of the two countries confirmed their intention to hold a meeting in Buenos Aires.
“Saying goodbye in Paris, Trump said, “Well, see you in Buenos Aires!” Our president expressed an approval,” Ushakov said in an interview with the “Moscow. Kremlin. Putin” TV program on Russia 1 TV channel.
At the same time, during the same TV program, the Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that “no breakthroughs should be expected in the relations with the United States should be expected.” “In this case, we should probably wait for the next contact of the two presidents,” he said.
In addition, Peskov said Putin and Trump had planned to have a conversation in Paris. However, the meeting did not take place “out of respect for the receiving party, who expressed the wish that nothing should distract from the memorial event”. In Paris, the heads of Russia and the United States took part in the commemorative ceremony dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the truce ending World War 1.
The meeting of the heads of the G-20 states will take place in Buenos Aires from November 30 to December 1.
