The meeting with Vladimir Putin is set to become Donald Trump's first foreign trip, and the US leader will start working on an agreement limiting nuclear arms within a "reset" in US-Russian relations, according to the newspaper.
Sources close to the Russian Embassy in London said to The Sunday Times that Moscow would agree to a summit between Putin and Trump.
The meeting would come just over 30 years since the historic summit on October 11-12, 1986, held in Reykjavik, between the US and Soviet leaderships, the second in a series of meetings that relaunched the relationship between the two countries.
The latest report comes just a day after Trump expressed openness to lifting the sanctions against Russia "under certain conditions."
In an hour-long interview with the Wall Street Journal on Friday, Trump said he wants to keep the sanctions that the Obama administration recently imposed on Russia "at least for a period of time."
However, Trump added that he would consider lifting the restrictions, depending on how helpful the Russians are in the fight against terrorism, as well as assisting with other goals that he feels are key to the US.
