AMERICAN CITIZENS 'ON APPARATUS': Trump summoned Putin to Washington this autumn - White House announced

US President Donald Trump called on a Russian colleague to visit Washington in the fall, and the visit is already being discussed, White House said

Trump asked "Ambassador John Bolton to invite President Putin to Washington in the fall," said Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a White House secretary on Thursday. "These discussions are already underway." Trump and Putin met recently in Helsinki, Finland, their first meeting since Trump came to duty in January 2017.

The US president is faced with a home-deserved wall, and the democrats accusing him of "an agreement" with Russia during the 2016 election, and some in his own party, who consider Russia an enemy that should not be discussed. Earlier on Thursday, Trump announced on Twitter that he was delighted with the second meeting with Putin in order to begin to apply "some of the many things that were being discussed, including stopping terrorism, Israel's security, nuclear proliferation, cyber attacks, world trade, Ukraine, peace in the Middle East, North Korea and much more. "

"There are many answers, some are light, and some difficult, these problems ... but everyone can get rid of it," the US President added. In an interview for CNBC, Trump of his predecessor, Barack Obama, called the "total fool" for Russia and claimed he was the stalwart US president of Russia in history. "The joint agreement with President Putin and the connection with Russia is positive, not negative. Now, when that is said, if we do not solve it, I will become the worst enemy he ever had - the worst he ever had, "Trump said in a segment published by CNBC on Thursday.

Hours before Sanders announced the announcement of Putin's arrival, the Senate unanimously voted "to reject available current or former diplomats, civil servants, political officials, law enforcement officers or members of the United States Armed Forces for questioning by the government or Vladimir Putin." A non-binding resolution came in response to Putin's bid in Helsinki to allow US and Russian officials to investigate suspects on the basis of a 1999 agreement on co-operation in the area of co-operation.

Putin visited the United States seven times earlier, beginning with the UN Millennium Summit in September 2000. His latest visit was in September 2015, according to the State Department, where he met with then-President Barack Obama at the margins of the UN General Assembly in New York.
