MOSCOW (Sputnik) - US President Donald Trump stated on Thursday that he expects a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin to take place approximately within two weeks.
"I would say within two weeks or so, pretty quick," Trump told reporters at the White House.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov have already spoken and are set to meet in person very soon, Trump revealed.

“I would say within two weeks or so, pretty quick, Marco Rubio is going to be meeting with his counterpart, as you know, Lavrov, and they'll be meeting pretty soon. They're going to set up a time and a place, very shortly, maybe it's already set up. They've already spoken,” Trump said, when asked about the timing of the Lavrov-Rubio meeting.

Following his phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier on Thursday, Trump wrote in a Truth Social post that Rubio will head the first round of US talks with Russian representatives on Ukraine in Budapest, Hungary.
