Kremlin: Trump, Putin did not discuss missile treaty in Paris

President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin did not discuss a Cold War-era missile treaty, which the U.S. plans to withdraw from, while the two were in Paris on Sunday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Interfax.

According to the Russian news agency, Trump and Putin spoke briefly while they were both in Paris for the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day.

Trump confirmed last month that the U.S. planned to withdraw from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF), which was agreed to during the Cold War.

Trump has not provided a timeline regarding when the U.S. would withdraw from the deal.

Trump previously said he didn’t have any plans to meet with Putin while in Paris.

“We haven’t set anything up yet. We don’t know that that’s going to be the right place. I’m going to be in Paris for other reasons, but we will be meeting at the G-20 and probably will have meetings after that,” Trump told reporters last week.
