The Kremlin said on Nov. 17 that it hopes for another summit between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin once the groundwork has been laid for a productive meeting.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the remarks in response to a question about the conditions necessary for another meeting between the two world leaders to take place.
