Kremlin aide says time, place for Putin-Trump summit set

A foreign affairs adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow and Washington reached an agreement today on the date and location for a summit of Putin and US President Donald Trump.

Presidential adviser Yuri Ushakov made the announcement after a meeting in Moscow between Putin and US National Security Adviser John Bolton.

The time, venue and other details of the summit will be announced jointly by the Kremlin and the White House tomorrow, Ushakov said.

He said the summit would take place in a third country, but did not name it as part of the plan for a joint declaration with Washington.

Austria previously offered to host the summit in Vienna. Some media reports have mentioned Finland's capital, Helsinki, as a possible venue.

The summit will include one-on-one talks between the presidents and conclude with a joint news conference, Ushakov said. He said Trump and Putin are expected to issue a joint statement.

Ushakov said the Kremlin was satisfied with the talks with Bolton, describing them as "constructive and businesslike."
