No decision has been made on whether U.S. President Donald Trump will meet his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin for a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the APEC summit in Vietnam on Friday, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Thursday.
Speaking to reporters in Beijing, where he is traveling with Trump on his tour of Asia, Tillerson said a meeting is “still under consideration,” according to AP.
“When the two leaders meet, is there something sufficiently substantive?” Tillerson said, according to CNN. “No conclusion has been made on that.”
His comments came after Russian news agency TASS reported earlier on Thursday that Putin aide Yuri Ushakov had confirmed Trump and Putin would meet Friday.
