President Donald Trump of the USA when talking on the phone with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on March 20 suggested holding a bilateral meeting in Washington, according to a Kremlin foreign policy adviser, Yuri Ushakov.
Yuri Ushakov also expressed hope that the U.S. side would not turn down the proposal. According to him, the possibility of such meeting was not discussed in the first half of the year. Mr. Ushakov noted that Moscow expected that, despite the unfolding situation, it would be possible to discuss such meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.
Although an extensive discussion of this possible summit has not yet begun, the willingness to provide a platform for negotiations between the two leaders has also been announced by the third party — Finland.
