According to the source, Mr. Trump wants to discuss with Mr. Putin the war situation in Syria and Russia's support for President Bashar al-Assad. The US president also wants to raise the issue of "Russia's actions in Ukraine." However, the main issue on the agenda should be Syria.

According to this channel, the topic of Russia's "interference" in the US election is unlikely to be mentioned.

Last week, US President's national security adviser Herbert McMaster said that at the G20 summit in Hamburg, Mr. Trump will hold talks with many world leaders, including President Putin.

There were later reports of disagreements within the White House about the meeting. The US leader insisted that all recognized diplomatic procedures must be followed, while many of his advisers believed that the two leaders only needed a brief meeting on the sidelines of the event.

The Kremlin said preparations for the meeting between Putin and Trump have begun, and the format and date will be agreed through diplomatic channels. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov expressed hope that the meeting between the two leaders will clarify relations between the two countries.
