Russian President Vladimir Putin said Sunday he would be happy to hold a meeting with President Trump.
“We need to stop talking and imagining things,” Putin said, confirming earlier reports that a U.S.-Russia summit could take place, according to Politico. “Our foreign ministries should discuss substantially and work very closely with each other.”
Previous reports have indicated that a meeting between Trump and Putin could take place, potentially in Vienna, Austria.
While speaking at a press conference in China on Sunday, Putin also dismissed criticism of Moscow at the G-7 summit over the weekend.
Putin denied claims that Russia was participating in destabilizing efforts, calling it “creative babbling.”
Putin’s comments come after Trump’s Friday remarks that Russia should be invited back into the G-7, formerly G-8, summit.
