... it already is.
US President-elect Donald Trump said on Thursday that a meeting was being set up between him and Russian President Vladimir Putin. “He wants to meet, and we are setting it up,” Trump said before a meeting with Republican governors in his Mar-a-Lago golf club in Palm Beach, Florida, according to Reuters. He did not specify when the meeting would take place.
Well, Kremlin reacted promptly.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow “had received no requests” for a Trump-Putin meeting. “It makes sense, of course, to wait until [Trump] takes office,” Peskov said.
So, Trump is "setting it up" in his imagination, not understanding that Putin and Russia do not operate within these types of frameworks. I guess being NYC real estate shyster is not a good background for statesmanship (as Trump's first term demonstrated so aptly), which Donald mistook for showmanship.
