Kremlin hopes Putin and Trump can hold talks before June next year

DECEMBER 2, 2018 / 6:51 AM / UPDATED 4 HOURS AGO

BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - The Kremlin hopes that U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin can meet and hold talks before a G20 summit in Japan in June next year, a Kremlin aide said on Saturday.

Trump canceled a planned meeting with Putin at the G20 summit in Argentina this weekend citing unease over Russia’s Nov. 25 seizure of three Ukrainian navy ships and their crews.

Trump and Putin instead had a very brief meeting when they bumped into each other on the sidelines of the summit in Buenos Aires, but did not hold proper talks.

Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov told reporters he hoped it would be possible for the two leaders to meet properly before too long.

He has to get those sanctions lifted for the oligarchs. Good luck with that.

Before trump gets impeached. June seems to be his best estimate on how much longer trump will have power.

I have a terrific idea. Why don't we ship the orange anus straight over to Russia and he can STAY there permanently. They should have all kinds of time then to do all the fun stuff like horseback riding and water sports.
