Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin will meet in Helsinki, Finland, on July 16 for their first bilateral summit as the leaders seek to reverse a downward spiral in relations that has been exacerbated by findings that Russia meddled in U.S. elections.
The Kremlin and the White House announced the meeting in simultaneous statements issued on Thursday.
The news was released a day after Putin hosted U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton for talks in Moscow. The unusually warm discussions in the Kremlin Wednesday came amid the worst tensions between the two nuclear-armed rivals since the Cold War.
