- The US and Russia are currently in talks to arrange a summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
- Experts say the US has nothing to gain and everything to lose from a meeting between Trump and Putin given current US-Russia relations and Trump's personal affinity for Putin.
- "But that seems to be the pattern of Trump's dealmaking," said one former State Department official. "We move the US embassy to Jerusalem and get nothing in exchange. We give the North Koreans a summit and get nothing in exchange. We pull out of the Iran nuclear deal and get nothing in exchange. This is par for the course."
The White House and the Kremlin are in the early stages of arranging a summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, The Wall Street Journal reported late Friday.
Citing people familiar with the matter, the report said the meeting's purpose would be to resolve longstanding differences between the US and Russia.
