Russia indicates that Putin would rather see Trump in a group setting next time

• President Donald Trump invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to meet in Washington just three days after their summit in Helsinki.
• But it looks like Putin doesn't want to go.
• Instead, a Kremlin aide said Putin and Trump should meet in a group setting and wait to "let the dust settle" from the first meeting.
• Putin wants Trump to keep being US president, and the summit proved extremely damaging for Trump before vital midterm elections.

President Donald Trump followed up his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki with a swift invitation for Putin to visit Washington — but it seems Putin may not be that into the idea.

Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said Russia agrees with Trump that the leaders should meet again, but maybe not one-on-one.
