The US president recently postponed a planned meeting with his Russian counterpart<\/strong><\/p>\n

A summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin “is not completely off the table,”<\/em> White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a press briefing on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Trump called off a planned summit with Putin in Budapest a day earlier, after it was announced last week following a conversation between the two leaders.<\/p>\n

Leavitt was asked to comment on the decision and the recent US sanctions on major Russian oil companies.<\/p>\n

“A meeting between these two leaders is not completely off the table. I think the president and the entire administration hopes that one day that can happen again,”<\/em> she replied.<\/p>\n

Trump “has not seen enough interest in enough action”<\/em> from Russia to move towards a peace settlement, she said. Moscow has maintained<\/a> that it remains “fully committed”<\/em> to a diplomatic solution to the Ukraine conflict, provided its “root causes”<\/em> are addressed.<\/p>\n

Leavitt also addressed sanctions on Russia unveiled<\/a> by the US Treasury Department on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“The president has always maintained that he would implement sanctions on Russia when he felt it was appropriate and necessary… and yesterday was that day,”<\/em> she said.<\/p>\n

Putin, speaking to the press on Thursday, noted that the “unfriendly move”<\/em> causes “harm”<\/em> to Russian-US relations, which he said “have just begun to recover.”<\/em> Despite this, the sanctions would not significantly impact the Russian economy, he added.<\/p>\n

The restrictions are yet another attempt by the US to strong-arm Russia, he said, stressing that “no self-respecting country”<\/em> makes “decisions under pressure.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The president also confirmed that the summit with Trump is postponed.<\/p>\n

“What can I say? Dialogue is always better than confrontation, disputes, or, even more so, war,”<\/em> Putin said, adding that Russia has always supported and continues to support diplomacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
