The American and Russian foreign ministers would bring Trump and Putin together in China

Marco Rubio and Sergey Lavrov discussed a potential meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in China during the G20 foreign ministers' meeting in Atlanta. The U.S. Secretary of State clarified that he did not have an official meeting with Lavrov, but they had a brief conversation about bilateral relations and multilateral cooperation. Trump indicated his willingness to meet with Russian and Chinese counterparts in November. The Atlanta meeting was a precursor to the G20 summit in Miami, where Trump invited Putin and expressed no issues with inviting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
