Preparations begin for Putin-Trump meeting, no details yet, says Kremlin spokesman

Preparations for a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump have begun but no specific decisions have been made so far, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday, TASS reports.

"Work is beginning on the possible agenda of such a meeting, there are technical questions to be solved, which concern the meeting’s time and venue and so on," he said. "Since the meeting will take place on the sidelines of an international memorial event, it will need to be incorporated into that event’s agenda. As of now, we don’t have any details to share," the Russian presidential spokesman added.

Peskov also said that no documents were planned to be signed at the Putin-Trump meeting. "There are no such plans," he said, when asked if the two leaders planned to sign a bilateral document at their upcoming meeting.

Last week, US National Security Adviser John Bolton visited Russia and met with President Putin. Following their talks, Russian Presidential Aide Yuri Ushakov said that Putin and Trump would hold a meeting on November 11 in Paris, where celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of the World War I Armistice are scheduled to take place.
