“(Trump) has a desire to conduct meetings in the future and I am ready,” Putin said, extending the invitation and reiterating his desire to go to Washington.
The White House responded with a statement saying “President Trump looks forward to having President Putin to Washington after the first of the year, and he is open to visiting Moscow upon receiving a formal invitation.”
