The Kremlin hopes that Donald Trump will not change his mind about meeting with Vladimir Putin.

Yuri Ushakov, the Russian president, said that the US president offered to meet with his Russian counterpart in the White House during a phone conversation on March 20, but after the diplomatic scandal involving Sergei Skipal, Ushakov said that the issue of organizing the meeting was no longer on the agenda. On March 20, Donald Trump called Vladimir Putin to congratulate on winning the elections.
