“If the US President finally decides to visit China during these days, then, of course, such a meeting cannot theoretically be excluded,” Peskov said.
However, according to the Russian news agency TASS, the Kremlin does not make any specific preparations for the meeting of Putin and Trump. “No concrete measures are being prepared for such a meeting because there is no mutual meeting on the meeting,” the spokesman said.
Several leaders will participate in the celebration
Putin has confirmed his participation in the mentioned celebrations and, according to China’s officials, other world leaders will be attended.
The White House chief said last week that Chinese President Si Jin-Pching invited him to visit China. Trump also said that he would probably meet Chinese counterparts in the near future. However, it is not clear whether Trump will participate in the celebrations.
