Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Kremlin Considers Putin-Trump Meeting in Beijing
Caption: Kremlin Considers Putin-Trump Meeting in Beijing. The Kremlin said a Putin-Trump meeting could happen in Beijing this September. The occasion is the World War Two anniversary events, which are expected to draw global leaders to Beijing. Putin’s visit to China is already confirmed, but Russia has yet to receive official word on Trump’s attendance. The Kremlin indicated a meeting could be considered if both leaders attend the events. Last week, reports suggested China is keen to host a Putin-Trump summit during the anniversary commemorations. The two presidents have already spoken several times since Trump returned to the White House in January. Moscow welcomes the idea of an in-person meeting but stresses the need for careful preparation. Meanwhile, Trump has voiced frustration with Putin over the ongoing war in Ukraine. Trump has also threatened new sanctions unless a peace agreement is reached soon. Trump’s 50-day deadline for progress on Ukraine will expire in early September, coinciding with the Beijing events.
