Putin called the UAE one of the most suitable places to meet with Trump.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) may become a suitable venue for a summit between Russia and the United States. He told reporters about this on August 7 after meeting with UAE Leader Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in the Kremlin.
"We have many friends who are ready to help us organize an event of this kind. One of my friends is the President of the United Arab Emirates," he said.
The Russian leader added that although a final decision has yet to be made, the UAE is one of the most suitable venues for the summit.
