TEHRAN, October 27 -The White House has formally invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to Washington in early 2019, an idea that was put on hold in July amid anger in the US over the prospect of such a summit.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -The White House has formally invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to Washington in early 2019, an idea that was put on hold in July amid anger in the US over the prospect of such a summit.
The invitation was announced Friday by US National Security Advisor John Bolton during a news conference in Tbilisi, Georgia.
“We have invited President Putin to Washington,” Bolton said at the news conference.
Bolton held meetings with Putin and other Kremlin officials in Moscow to discuss the US withdrawing from a Cold-War era nuclear weapons treaty.
US President Donald Trump held a summit with Putin in July in Helsinki, the Finnish capital, and then issued Putin an invitation to visit Washington in the autumn.
It was not immediately clear if Putin had accepted the invitation.
Trump’s earlier invitation to Putin sparked outrage in Washington, including from lawmakers in Trump’s Republican Party, who argued that Putin was an adversary not worthy of a White House visit.
