Trump says he has not thought about meeting Putin this month
US president Donald Trump has said he is not sure if he will be meeting his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin later this month in Saudi Arabia.
Speaking to reporters as he returned to the White House after a weekend in Florida, Mr Trump was asked whether he planned to meet Mr Putin when he travels to the Middle East later this month where he will meet several Gulf leaders.
He said he had not thought about this but “we’ve had some very good discussions” about Russia and Ukraine in recent days.
“There’s a lot of hatred there,” he said.
