Kremlin Statement on U.S.-Russia Summit
The Kremlin announced that there is a shared understanding that a summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump should not be postponed for too long.
There is an understanding that it would be best to meet without unnecessary delay.
According to Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, President Trump suggested that holding a summit now would be meaningless, and President Putin supported that position.
- The two presidents had agreed to hold a summit in Budapest, Hungary, but it was later postponed.
- No specific date was ever proposed for the summit.
Peskov argued that describing the postponement as a 'cancellation' is incorrect.
