Prospects for a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US counterpart Donald Trump at the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Vietnam this week were unclear after contradictory statements from the two sides.
Putin and Trump Uomo Nere Nike SF-AF1 Air Force 1 Alte Boots Scontate , who had their first face-to-face meeting in July to discuss allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 US election, are both planning to attend this week's summit in the Vietnamese city of Da Nang.
The Kremlin said it has been trying to set up a meeting and Trump told Fox News before his Asia tour that he might meet Putin in Vietnam to talk about Syria, Ukraine and North Korea.
Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov told Russian news agencies on Thursday that such a meeting would happen on Friday.
"Right now the time of the meeting is being agreed. It will be on the tenth [of November]," Ushakov told agencies.
But US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, on a visit to Beijing with Trump, said no decision on whether Trump and Putin would have formal talks had yet been taken.
Tillerson also questioned whether the two men would have enough to talk about to justify such a meeting.
