Dmitry Peskov: Putin Ready to Talk to Trump

Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Vladimir Putin is ready for contact with US President Donald Trump. He stressed that the Kremlin was waiting for signals and would inform about a possible conversation in a timely manner. The day before, on 23 January, the US president announced his intention to hold a meeting with Vladimir Putin “immediately”, kommersant.ru reported. “Look, Putin is ready, we are waiting for signals, everyone is ready. So it’s hard to read the coffee grounds. As soon as there is something, if there is something, we will inform you,” the spokesman said during a press conference. This is how he responded to the journalists’ question about whether we should expect a dialogue between the US and Russian presidents this weekend.
