After a meeting in Moscow between Putin and Trump's national security adviser John Bolton, officials on both sides said on Tuesday a preliminary agreement on a November 11 meeting in the French capital had been reached, and that detailed arrangements were under way.

Both presidents plan to be in Paris for events to commemorate the centenary of the end of World War One, and they are planning to hold a bilateral meeting on the sidelines, according to Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov.

Bolton, speaking to reporters after his talks with Putin, said Trump would like to meet the Russian president in Paris and that precise arrangements were being worked on.
