A top Kremlin aide on Tuesday said Russia is not ready to accept President Trump's invitation to a second summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the U.S.
Yuri Ushakov said Russia agrees there should be another meeting, but did not formally agree to the White House's fall invitation.
“After the summit, you know what kind of atmosphere there is around its outcome,” Ushakov said, according to a Reuters report. "I think it would be wise to let the dust settle and then we can discuss all these questions in a business-like way. But not now."
Trump and White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said last week that preparations are underway for a meeting with Putin in Washington, D.C., this fall.

Ushakov said there are other opportunities for the leaders to meet.
"There are other options (to meet) which our leaders can look at," Ushakov said, according to Reuters. "Maybe there will be other international events which Trump and Putin will take part in."
He mentioned the November meeting of Group of 20 leaders in Argentina, which Trump and Putin are both slated to attend.
