Kremlin not ruling out Putin-Trump talks in Beijing

Kremlin, Russian and US presidents both do not eliminate the possibility of a meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump in Beijing in September.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that Putin would visit China for events to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the End of World War II, but Moscow said that Trump was planning to go.

You know that we are ready for a trip to Beijing, our president is preparing for this trip … But we did not hear that President Trump went to Beijing,

Peskov told journalists, “If so (Trump) there, of course, we can not ignore the problem of conformity to meet.” He said.

The Times reported that China has positioned a summit between Trump and Putin last week.

Putin and Trump spoke at least six times since Trump returned to the White House in January. Kremlin said it was in favor of a face -to -face meeting, but it would need a careful preparation to produce results.

Trump expressed increasing disappointment with the Russian leader due to lack of progress to end the war in Ukraine and said at the beginning of this month that we had a lot of nonsense by Putin. “

Trump said he would apply new sanctions to Russia and buyers within 50 days unless Moscow accepted a peace agreement last week. This deadline will end in early September and coincide with the anniversary of the war in Beijing.
