As Russia investigation heats up in the U.S., Trump and Putin may soon meet

MOSCOW — President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin may meet next week at an economic summit in Vietnam, a Kremlin spokesman said on Friday, even as the investigation in the United States into Russian election meddling heats up.

Trump is heading on a trip to Asia this weekend that is scheduled to include a stop at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, which Putin is also scheduled to attend.

Asked Friday if there were plans for the two presidents to meet, Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said he “we aren’t ruling out a Putin-Trump meeting in Vietnam” and that the details “are being coordinated now.” It would be their second meeting as world leaders.

“The importance for international affairs of any contact between the Russian and U.S. presidents can hardly be overestimated,” Peskov told reporters on his daily conference call.

He's not even trying to hide it.

The heat is on, and he's reporting to his handler.

Unreal.
