MOSCOW (Sputnik) - US President Donald Trump said on Monday that he probably will not sit down for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin when both leaders are in France this weekend for the 100th anniversary of the end of World War One.

"I am not sure that we will have a meeting in Paris, probably not," Trump told reporters. Trump added that while nothing official has been set up, he plans to meet with Putin during the G-20 summit in Argentina and after that meeting will have "probably plenty of meetings."
