Trump Appears Open to Visiting Russia

New York Times: “When the hasty planning began for the historic summit in Alaska, some observers wondered whether — given the state’s proximity to Russia of less than 60 miles — Mr. Trump would make a ceremonial visit by stepping into the neighboring country.”

“It was not to be. But one person close to Mr. Trump indicated days before the trip that a Moscow visit might be possible down the road. So perhaps it wasn’t simply a joke when, in their final moments at the podium, Mr. Putin suggested that the two leaders next meet in his capital city.”

Mr. Trump seemed amenable: “Oooh, that’s an interesting one. I don’t know, I’ll get a little heat on that one. But I could see it possibly happening.”
