President Vladimir Putin said that he had not yet met with Donald Trump because of the tough confrontation within the American political elite. "In my opinion, this is the result of a bitter domestic political struggle in the United States," RT quotes an excerpt from an interview of the Russian president to the Austrian ORF television channel. Earlier, Putin's aide Yuri Ushakov said that at the moment the issue of the meeting between Putin and Trump is not discussed by the parties. In turn, the US ambassador to Russia John Huntsman told Fox News that the US president would like to hold a meeting with President Vladimir Putin at an appropriate time.
