The White House on Thursday (August 7) refuted the Russian assertion that the meeting between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin was completed, including the specified location.
The head of the White House official told ABC News that no placement was determined for the potential summit, and stressed that any Trump-Putin meeting was dependent on Putin’s first meeting of Ukrainian President Volodymyr-some, what the Kremlin has to agree with.
