"We will be meeting at the G20 and probably we'll have meetings after that," Trump told the media at Joint Base Andrews. "I'm not sure that we'll have a meeting in Paris. Probably not."
Both Putin and Trump are expected to be in Paris for a centenary commemoration of the end of World War 1.
Earlier, Yuri Ushakov, a presidential aide to Putin, had said that the two leaders might meet in Paris for a short meeting, but that a “long and thorough” discussion would be had at the G20 Summit in Argentina.
Trump and Putin last met on July 16 in Helsinki, where they discussed a number of bilateral issues during two hours of one-on-one talks.
