Russia and US to prepare for new summit ‘without delay’ – Kremlin

A meeting between presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump could take place in Budapest, presidential aide Yury Ushakov has said

Russia and the US will immediately start preparing for the next meeting between the countries’ presidents, Vladimir Putin’s aide, Yury Ushakov, has said.

The comments come after US President Donald Trump announced a potential summit following a phone call with the Russian leader earlier on Thursday.

The first conversation between the two leaders in almost two months lasted nearly two and a half hours, according to Ushakov, who described the conversation as “very useful.”

The sides “have agreed that representatives of the two nations would start working on a new summit without delay,” the official told journalists, adding that it could be held in Budapest. Earlier, Trump also mentioned the Hungarian capital as the host city for the potential meeting.
