Trump spoke with reporters at the White House about the arrangements for his meeting with Putin. Trump said, "I will mainly communicate with President Putin by phone. We expect to meet in person eventually. In fact, we expect him (Putin) to come here (to the USA), and I will go there (to Russia), and we might also meet in Saudi Arabia." When pressed by reporters about the specific arrangements for the meeting, Trump said that the date has not yet been set and is expected to be in the "near future."
