Kremlin says Putin-Trump meeting in the works
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The spokesman for Vladimir Putin says a meeting between the Russian president and U.S. President Donald Trump is in the works.
Trump and Putin had a much-anticipated hour-long discussion on Saturday, the first since Trump assumed office last week.
Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Monday lauded the phone call as a "good, constructive conversation" but dismissed suggestions of Trump and Putin may have reached deals in that phone call. Peskov said Kremlin and White House staff have been instructed to prepare a meeting between the two leaders and added that the leaders could reach practical agreements only after they see each other.
