Trump looking to meet with Putin in July: Report
By Diana Stancy Correll (washingtonexaminer.com) / June 20 2018
President Trump is looking to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in July, a new report says.
Trump is eyeing meeting with Putin prior to the NATO summit in Brussels on July 11 or after his trip to the United Kingdom on July 13, Bloomberg claims. However, no plans have yet been finalized.
The two leaders met twice at the G-20 summit in Hamburg, Germany, in 2017.
The White House did not immediately respond to an inquiry from the Washington Examiner about the potential meeting.
The report comes after Trump floated that Russia, which was removed from the G-8 in 2014 after it annexed Crimea, should “come back in.”
“You know, whether you like it or not, and it may not be politically correct, but we have a world to run,” Trump told reporters. “And in the G-7, which used to be the G-8, they threw Russia out. They should let Russia come back in, because we should have Russia at the negotiating table.”
