The article said Mr. Trump and his associates informed British officials that they wanted to arrange a meeting with Russian President Putin during Mr. Trump's first foreign trip.

And the location they targeted was the capital of Iceland, where three decades ago a meeting took place between the two heads of state at that time, US President Ronald Reagan and General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev.

The article also commented that US President-elect Trump is looking to focus his efforts on restarting the West's relationship with the Kremlin, first of all by reaching an agreement to limit nuclear weapons.

A source from the Russian Embassy in London also said that Moscow fully agreed with the US plan for the above summit.

In another related development, on the same day, former US Attorney General Michael Mukasey said that Mr. Trump needs to pay more attention to relations with Russia and Iran./.
