The White House pushed back on Thursday on claims from the Kremlin that a meeting between President Donald Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin has been agreed to.

A meeting between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin could take place as soon as next week, according to the Kremlin. Putin said it could be hosted by the United Arab Emirates.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday he hopes to meet next week with U.S. President Donald Trump, possibly in the United Arab Emirates, although a White House official cast doubt on the summit occurring unless the Kremlin leader also agreed to a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
