Putin, Trump could meet at three summits

The Kremlin isn't ruling out further talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump at three summits later this year.

The Kremlin is not ruling out the possibility that Russian President Vladimir Putin could hold talks with US President Donald Trump at three summits due to take place in 2018, including those in Singapore, France and Argentina.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Izvestiya newspaper on Friday that Moscow is keen to hold such talks but "all depends on reciprocity".

Putin said last month that he wanted Trump to be his guest in Moscow following the Helsinki summit. The president was reported to be enthusiastic about another summit.

Trump was criticised at home for failing to confront Putin publicly over Moscow's interference in the 2016 US election, and for seeming to contradict his own intelligence agencies on the threat from Russia.
