WASHINGTON—The White House is planning for a potential summit between President Donald Trump and President Vladimir Putin of Russia, according to people familiar with the efforts, a meeting that would bring to the international stage one of the world’s most enigmatic political relationships.

A senior administration official said Friday that Jon Huntsman, the U.S. ambassador to Russia, has been in Washington to help arrange a meeting between Messrs. Trump and Putin.

The planning is still at an early stage, the official said, with the two nations needing to agree on a date and location.

“This has been an ongoing project of Ambassador Huntsman, stretching back months, of getting a formal meeting between Putin and Trump,” the official said.

13. Trump needs to....

check in with the boss to see what his next steps are for the destruction of the United States. Trump's attention span can't handle telephone calls or emails, and there's too much information to 'tweet'. Face to face is the only way Trump can get his instructions from Putin straight. I honestly think this is true.
