Neither Russian President Vladimir Putin nor the head of the White House Donald Trump announced the exact dates of their meeting in Budapest. This was stated by the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, answering the question of whether a meeting between the Russian and American leaders will take place.
“Neither President Trump nor President Putin gave exact dates. Preparation, serious preparation is needed. You heard the statement from both the American side and ours that this may take time. Therefore, no exact dates were initially indicated here,” – Russian media quote Peskov’s words.
The Kremlin representative also called the reports that appeared in the media about the possibility of the simultaneous arrival of the Russian and US presidents at the summit in Budapest on the same board as a “fantastic version.”
According to Peskov, it is premature to talk about the participation of any EU countries in the Russian-American summit in Budapest, since “there are no such details yet.” was not discussed.”
In addition, the Kremlin representative forwarded to the Russian Foreign Ministry the question of choosing a suitable venue for a meeting between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
