Trump-Putin dialogue tipped to contain energy focus
Former Russian oil minister predicts meeting, but White House has no announcements “at this time”

The Trump-Putin tie-up was mooted in the Duma, the Russian Parliament, at the end of February, when Russian news agencies Pravda and RIA Novosti reported preparations were under way, although a White House spokesman for president Trump told Risk.net on 9 March: “We do not have any announcements at this time.”
