President Trump has invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to visit the White House, the Kremlin told the media Monday.
“If everything goes well, I hope that the American side would not refuse its proposal to discuss the possibility of organizing the summit talks,” said Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov, according to Tass, a state-run media outlet.
It’s not clear whether Putin has accepted Trump’s invitation to travel to Washington, according to an Agence France-Presse reporter.
A senior U.S. official did “not deny” that Trump floated the idea of a White House summit,” but added that “no planning has begun as yet.”

This isn't how you emphasize a strong message. This makes "I'll have more flexibility after the election" seem like Machiavellian cunning. https://t.co/LXQyhU3uFP

I’m sure his lawyers told him this was a good idea;)
