"Obviously we are disappointed that we don't have an agreement this afternoon and indeed we've been disappointed for quite some time that we haven't been able to reach an agreement," Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader Arlene Foster told reporters Tuesday, as cited by Reuters.
"However we are going to keep working at it over the summer and hopefully we can come to an agreement later on in the year," she added.
"It's agreed that the presidents will meet, but the schedules are quite tight," Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov said as cited by TASS. President Putin already has talks scheduled with 11 world leaders during the G20 meeting in Hamburg on July 7 and 8, but "nevertheless, our American partners and us will be looking for openings... to hold this utmost important meeting."Since Trump took office in January, the Russian and American leaders have talked on the phone on four occasions, with their latest conversation taking place in early May. Ushakov expressed confidence that Putin and Trump will meet on the sidelines of the G20 summit.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump will hold their first full-fledged meeting at the G20 summit on July 7, the Kremlin spokesman said. Dmitry Peskov specified it will not merely be a brief contact on the sidelines. The meeting is "planned as a full-fledged 'sit down' meeting," Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday. The White House has also confirmed that a "normal bilateral meeting" between the leaders is to take place on Friday afternoon, according to Reuters.
"At least we believe that the American side will be ready for such dialogue, and we will see how the conversation really goes. Eventually, everything depends on the leaders," Ryabkov said.
The populations of both nations see each other as foes, according to the latest polls. While 69 percent of Russian respondents consider America among hostile countries, according to a poll conducted by Russian research center Levada, a third of Americans surveyed said they view Russia as "unfriendly," and a fifth regard it as an "enemy," pollster YouGov has found.
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told the U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres during a private State Department meeting last week that the fate of Syrian leader Bashar Al-Assad now lies in the hands of Russia, and that the Trump administration's priority is limited to defeating the Islamic State, according to three diplomatic sources familiar with the exchange.If true, this would be the 100th time (rough approximation) that Washington has signaled a significant policy shift in Syria.
Comment: The MSM is stuck in a groove, one selected by the PTB. It is an extension of the control mechanism that operates behind the scenes as the ultimate director of America. There will likely never be a less corrupt society, less corrupt government, less corrupt media or a brighter future, until this dark shadowed puppet master is exposed, removed, and the people take back their minds and country. A small step in that direction was their election of Donald Trump.
FYI: The Fourth Estate (or fourth power) is a segment of society that wields an indirect but significant influence on society even though it is not a formally recognized part of the political system. The most commonly recognized part of the fourth estate is the news media, or press. The term 'fourth estate' derives from traditional European concept of the three estates of the realm: the clergy, the nobility, and the commoners.
