Moscow hopes to arrange a meeting between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin before next year, following Trump canceling a meeting between them at last week’s Group of 20 (G-20) summit.
“Of course a new meeting is possible,” Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov told reporters, Reuters reports. “Now we need to again have talks about preparing such a meeting.”
Ushakov pointed to next summer’s G-20 summit when asked when the meeting might take place.
“But it seems to me that it’s very important for us and for them to find a way of meeting before then,” said Ushakov.
Trump canceled his meeting with Russia after Russian vessels opened fire on Ukrainian ships and then seized multiple ships as well as sailors.
Russian officials have insisted Trump canceled the meeting over a “domestic” political situation, not an international one.
