U.S. President Donald Trump said that he could meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the right time.
"I would imagine I would be meeting with Putin at the right time," Donald Trump said.
When asked whether he has had a telephone conversation with Putin before or after his inauguration on January 20, Trump said: "I’ve had. Let’s just say I’ve had. And I expect to have more conversations."
"If we are talking, I don’t want to tell you about the conversation, it’s too early, but I do believe that we are making progress," Donald Trump said.
Earlier, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he could neither confirm nor deny reports about contacts between the two leaders.
