Trump expected to meet Putin and Erdogan in Paris

US President Donald Trump is expected to talk with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at this weekend's commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, which takes place in Paris.

Although the White House has yet to confirm it, Putin's foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov said a meeting with Trump is expected to take place as a preliminary to more in-depth discussions at the G20 summit in Argentina later this month.

Moscow has indicated it wants to discuss Trump's plans to withdraw from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. Trump had said he intends to pull the US out of the agreement because Russia is violating the terms, which Moscow firmly denies.
