US President Donald Trump says the weekend G20 summit of world leaders in Buenos Aires would be a “very good time” for a meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
“I probably will be meeting with President Putin. We haven’t terminated that meeting. I was thinking about it, but we haven’t. I think it’s a very good time to have the meeting,” Trump tells reporters at the White House.
The gathering of Group of 20 nations in the Argentine capital takes place under a cloud of Russia’s seizure of three Ukrainian ships, and Trump had threatened to cancel planned talks with Putin.
“I’m getting a full report on the plane as to what happens with respect to that as that will determine what we are going to be doing,” Trump says, adding that he considered talks with the Russian president “very important.”
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov had earlier told journalists the meeting would start around noon on Saturday with “brief talks between the leaders” followed by broader Russia-US talks that could last around an hour.
