The Kremlin said on Thursday it would “immediately” start preparing a summit between Russian and US presidents after Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump held an “extremely frank and trustful” phonecall.
“It has been agreed that representatives of the two countries will immediately start organising the summit which could be held, for instance, in Budapest,” Putin’s top aide Yuri Ushakov told journalists.
“It was a highly substantive conversation, and at the same time, it was extremely frank and trustful,” he added, saying the call was at Russia’s initiative.
