Russia says no decision yet on possible Putin-Trump summit in December

The Kremlin said on Thursday that no decision had been made on a possible December summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump, adding that it was too early to discuss an agenda.

The United States has invited Putin to attend a G20 meeting in Miami, Florida, in December, where he could hold talks with Trump, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday.

Asked what the two presidents might discuss, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters: “It is premature to speak about this right now. No decision has been made yet.”

“We certainly appreciate this kind invitation, we value it, and it will be reviewed and coordinated, after which an appropriate decision will be reached,” he said.

Trump has sought since returning to the White House in January last year to broker an end to the war in Ukraine, but efforts have yet to produce a breakthrough.

Peskov reiterated Russia’s position that it is seeking a comprehensive peace settlement rather than a temporary ceasefire.
