In his phone call earlier this week, President Donald Trump told Russian leader Vladimir Putin that the two should meet soon, a comment that caught aides by surprise since proposing a meeting was not in the President’s briefing materials, the Washington Post reported Wednesday evening.
Trump said on Tuesday that he and Putin will “probably be meeting in the not-too-distant future to discuss the arms race,” but officials told the Washington Post that administration aides have not been instructed to prepare for any such meeting. Trump and Putin are not scheduled to be in the same place until November, according to the Washington Post.
The White House did not mention Trump’s proposal to meet Putin in its official readout of the call, and administration officials have opposed a bilateral meeting with the Russian president in the past, according to the Washington Post.
The President also ignored a warning not to congratulate Putin on his election victory, as the Post reported on Tuesday.

Actually, I have no idea why BoneSpurs’s aides could possibly have been “caught off guard” – this is 150% in line with every interaction Donnie has had with his hero Uncle Vlad. It’s a sick kind of love story, I fear.
What is it with GOP presidents and former KGB agents-turned Leader of Russia? I remember W got all swooney when he looked into Putin’s eyes and could see his soul.
He is bored with Hope Hickey and Nikki Haley. He is now yearning more than ever to be Putin’s regular dickholster.
Is there not a way that the Russian embassy in Washington can arrange for a secure channel for Preshitident Manslut-Peehooker to suck Putin’s dick via hologram. He can have an inflatable Putin-doll for the Lincoln Bedroom until he gets to visit Putin to congratulate him.
The arms race! Big money there.
See? No collusion. Pay no attention to that dead guy on Fifth Avenue.
