A spokesman for the Russian government suggested Saturday that the Austrian capital of Vienna could be a potential location for a bilateral summit between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Russian state news agency Tass reports that Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters at a press conference that the two leaders discussed the possibility of a bilateral summit, including possible locations, during a recent phone call.

"Various cities, which can be suitable for a meeting between the two presidents, are often considered. You know that the two presidents discussed the need for such a meeting during their latest telephone conversation, including that Vienna could be such a city," Peskov said.

Peskov was quick to add, according to the report, that discussions between Trump and Putin on the issue are purely in the preliminary stages.

Notoriously Islamophobic Austrian chancellor kicks out Muslims and shuts down mosques

Sebastian Kurz and his party have ominously vowed that this is "just the beginning."

The right-wing government in Austria has escalated its hostility toward Muslims in the country by announcing this week that it plans to shut down seven mosques and deport between 40 and 60 Islamic clerics who receive foreign funding.

The coalition government, led by Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, said that this is “just the beginning” of its fight against what it sees as “radical Islam,” Reuters reported on Friday.

Kurz’s name might sound familiar, as he’s been mentioned in news stories earlier this week after President Donald Trump’s new ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, praised him in an interview he gave to Breitbart.
