Russia Snubs Trump's Invite For Second Summit: 'Not Now'

Even though President Trump has already proposed a follow-up to his recent summit with Vladimir Putin, it would appear that the Russians aren’t interesting in another meeting.

Reuters recently reached out to Kremlin diplomat Yuri Ushakov to see if Moscow had any response to the fallout from last week’s summit in Helsinki. Ushakov said that Trump and Putin could have a meeting at international events like the G20 summit later this year, but he declined to elaborate on why exactly his government hasn’t accepted Trump’s invitation to meet again sooner.

“After the summit you know what kind of atmosphere there is around its outcome,” said Ushakov. “I think it would be wise to let the dust settle and then we can discuss all these questions in a business-like way. But not now.”

It seems Putin is tiring of Trump's incompetance.

1. He's just not that into you, 2scoops.

[olegramps]

31. Slick diplomatic manuever. Suck him in and then play had to get. Puts on the beggar end of the deal

Trump thinks that he is a great negotiator. The "Art of the Deal" was the nothing more than the "Art of the Steal" where he stiffed everybody. He can't get credit in the United States and his only resource was Russia where he actually is only a money laundering machine for the Russia mafia. They are more than glad to buy his condos at inflated prices and he is willing to sell his own country down the tubes and provide them a place to safely park their stolen money. The crop of ultra wealthy were insiders who bought up industries that were de-nationalized following the collapse of the USSR for a penny on the dollar. The KGB operatives used their inside knowledge and muscle to enrich themselves.

37. Succinct and accurate (to me) analysis. Thanks, gramps (from one old one to another.)

[Perseus]

52. You hit the nail on the head with this: "who bought up industries that were de-nationalized..."

"who bought up industries that were de-nationalized following the collapse of the USSR for a penny on the dollar."

The above is exactly what Hugo Chavez did, a little worst because they also "appropriated" many industries and businesses, they invented excuses and created accusations on fraud, etc. to take those industries from the owners. They did the same with ranches, the ones that produced the best agriculture, the best cattle, and destroyed everything. They also destroyed the Venezuelan Oil industry, they pocketed most of the money that came in for oil sales. These people are billionaires, and it is interesting the fact that they cannot enjoy that money because if they set foot outside of Venezuela, they will be caught.

The tariffs, and possibly a war will bring the economy to its knees, and that is what he, and his Russian accomplices and those on the GOP who are already compromised, want. If he is able to confirm the new judge, that will be the beginning of the end, anyone who truly loves the USA would do whatever he/she can to make sure he is not confirmed, I am only hoping that Corker and Flake have the balls and are true patriots to help avoid that catastrophe.

[TheCowsCameHome]

61. Actually, Putin is. Deep.

[underpants]

2. Damn. Trump doing the walk of shame.

[demmiblue]

3. Kremlin, coy on new summit idea, says Putin and Trump can meet at G20

MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin was reticent on Tuesday about whether it would accept an invitation from U.S. President Donald Trump to hold a summit with Vladimir Putin in Washington later this year, saying only that the two men had other chances to meet as well.

The Kremlin’s failure to swiftly accept Trump’s invitation for a Washington summit has been noticeable. Though Moscow saw the Helsinki summit n the two leaders held last week as a success, the fiercely negative reaction by some U.S. politicians to Trump’s performance has taken some in Russia aback.

Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said that though Washington and Moscow agreed there was a need for another Putin-Trump meeting, Russia had not yet begun any practical preparations for a new meeting.

“There are other options (to meet) which our leaders can look at,” Ushakov told reporters, citing a meeting of G20 leaders in Argentina which starts at the end of November.

7. That's probably the news clip I should have posted.

[riversedge]

34. nah. I like the title with the word snub in in it.

[unc70]

41. Maybe they want to meet at the G8

[Cirque du So-What]

4. Pooty-poot knows it would be too obvious

Cheeto Benito lacks any such awareness.

[Adrahil]

5. LOL.... "not now.... peon."

These things will happen when Putin wants it. Trump is getting above himself.

[louis-t]

6. "He LOVES us! Otis, MY MAN!"

[Demit]

67. Upvote for the Animal House reference :)

[forgotmylogin]

8. "I told you no kissing on mouth, comrade."

Donny surely haz a sad he won't have a big strong Russian bicep to cling to and quiver exuberantly while his costly military parade passes his window.

Of course that means parade delayed...


"Just talk to me on back-channel like we discussed, Donald."

[dixiegrrrrl]

68. I read the parade was scheduled for Sept and Putin invite for Nov. 2...

Was that info incorrect?

[forgotmylogin]

73. What you read is probably right.

I was just riffing on speculation that Trump might be hoping to run the parade during a prospective Putin visit.

[dooner]

74. The military parade was/is scheduled for Nov. 10

I believe Putin's invite was vague... "the fall"

[Phoenix61]

9. Can't have a private meeting at the WH. nt

[unitedwethrive]

23. Ding, ding! Knowing that we know all about his history, Putin is too smart to come here.

[Freethinker65]

10. Plays nicely into Trump's Russia wants the Democrats to win in November narrative

[zentrum]

11. Not at all tiring of Trump

....incompetance. He finds it useful. And has known about it for years, having bailed him out of bankruptcy several times in the last decade.

No, it's a show of alpha dominance. And perhaps even a threat. It's a way of remindig Trump that Putin has all the compromat and holds all the cards. I'll send for you when I'm ready.

[Volaris]

40. Lol its how you treat a CUCK, after all...

[Faux pas]

12. Oh noes!

Two dictators have played our small handed, teeny brained leader!

[2naSalit]

20. Twice now!!

[Faux pas]

80. But, it's all about

the base!

[magicarpet]

13. Besides the Russians already have listening devices in the Oval Office.

The day after Comey was fired the two Russians who visited placed about 20 to 25 bugs all around the West Wing and Oval Office.

[pecosbob]

14. He already gave Gump his marching orders...

1. Capitulation to Assad forces in Syria.

2. Charades with Kim Jong-un.

3. U.S. seal of approval on sham referenda in Crime and Ukraine.

That's for starters...the GRU will let you know when they have new instructions.

[Botany]

15. it is all Kabuki

[underthematrix]

16. The MSM? Bless their craven hearts.

Link to tweet

[turbinetree]

17. The wink..............says it all.......................

Traitor.....................

November 2018 cannot get here fast enough......................vote

[Ellipsis]

18. That wilted his penis a bit.

[NewJeffCT]

19. I'm also wondering

Maybe Putin is afraid that while he is enroute and about to land, Mueller will issue indictments of Putin...

[msongs]

21. nice sly dig "in a business-like way" lol nt

[LuckyLib]

48. Agreed. "discuss all these questions in a business-like way"

says "No need for hysterical communication over twitter or your usual over-the-top ranting."

[JI7]

22. Putin is messing with him

[C Moon]

24. Trump is probably biting his fingernails about now.

[MyOwnPeace]

25. Maybe he's not sure

at which federal prison the meeting would be held?

[DFW]

26. Putin is telling the Donald:

"Look, you deliver on what I told you in Helsinki. THEN we'll see about me giving you some photo ops in the Oval."

Понятно? ("understood?" )

[world wide wally]

39. That is what I was going to say

[klook]

76. Or, put another way,

?w=400&c=1

[DFW]

77. To which Trump would have replied:

Si, si, don Vladimirio, tutto capito!

If only he knew that Italian was a language and not just a style of restaurant.

[infullview]

27. I guess we know who wears the pants in this bromance...

"not now Donald, I have a headache".

[donkeypoofed]

28. Oh Snap !!. How embarrassing for Spanky!

I bet he was taken aback and mortified at this! OMG its hilarious.

I think this is because Putie is gonna cut his losses soon. Spanky can never lift the Magnistky Act sanctions and I wouldnt be.surprised.to find humiliating evidence against Spanky leaked sooner rather than later by Russia.

[lagomorph777]

29. Ah, so that's why Turd is afraid Putin will help Democrats this fall. Putin has fired him.

[TheBlackAdder]

30. Humungus Putin has spoken.

.

Poor Wez Trump.



.

[Turbineguy]

32. No.

"I'm the boss, you come to me!" sez Putin.

[Initech]

33. Nah, it's only a matter of time before Trump gets sent to the principal's office again.

[SunSeeker]

35. Wow, what a huge insult to the US. Man, is Putin owning Trump.

Putin just dismissed a White House invite as nothing special. "Nah, I can't. I have to shampoo my hair that day."

[NurseJackie]

36. ...

It seems Putin is tiring of Trump's incompetance.

[Moral Compass]

38. Nothing further to gain

Putin got everything he wanted from Helsinki. Why in the world would he want to open himself up to further confrontations like he had with Chris Wallace? Someone he can’t safely have eliminated.

That Trump issued the invitation and has now had it rejected makes Trump look even weaker than he looked immediately post-Helsinki.

Come on Mueller! Drop your bombs! He’s got blood in his eyes and he’s staggering.

[Bayard]

44. Putin doesn't want to endanger his puppet and rethugs

Photo ops in the White House would not play well right before the mid-terms.

[Moral Compass]

51. You're probably right

It’s sad that Putin is so obviously smarter than Trump who always behaves like a bull charging a red flag. People told him he should distance himself from Putin and instead he tried to embrace him more closely as stupid as that looked to everyone.

Putin rejects the insane invitation knowing that a little lost face is better than the political catastrophe his visit right before the midterms would ignite.

[stuffmatters]

69. My thinking too: Putin in the Oval Office would be midterm poison for Putin's Repugs & President.

[dalton99a]

42. This is heartbreaking

[poetshepherd]

43. Putin won't be played by his puppet

trump figured he could get Putin here, stand next to him, talk tough.

Putin says, "Nyet."

[BadGimp]

45. They know exactly what kind of Shit Show it would be for the GOP!

#PutinsWinsAgain and the GOP is now The #PartyOfPutin

[Kablooie]

46. The message being: "Trump, you are not allowed to set the agenda. We do that."

[paleotn]

47. Now that's funny!

Not for our country, but for shithead in general. That's gonna leave a mark. It's Moscow showing the orange baboon who's really in charge.

[mgardener]

49. Does that mean.....

That Trump gave away our country, during his meeting with Putin and Putin doesn't need another meeting?

[rainin]

50. Remember Putin is maintaining the narrative that the US is the enemy of Russia to his people.

He gains nothing by coming here. Leaders come to him. Perhaps the next meeting will be in Russia on Putin's turf.

[AlexSFCA]

56. exactly right

and he also wants butina to be released.

[scarytomcat]

53. seen one military parade, you've seen them all

sorry don juan con no meet

[procon]

54. Trump is a stalker, he just cannot quit Putin. nt

[Puzzler]

55. Putin's no "nice guy", but he was head of the KGB ...

and is orders of magnitude smarter than Dump.

The CIA, MI6 and all the intelligence agencies (including the Rusians) must be laughing their heads off.

Well that made my day ... sort of ...


-Puzzler

[C_U_L8R]

57. In other words...

we don't want anything to do with your trumpy clown show.

[CCExile]

58. I don't think Putin plays golf,

and I imagine he has some real governing to do. And he has to wash his hair.

[jcgoldie]

59. You never call her for a 2nd date that soon douchebag!

You just look desperate!

[Wounded Bear]

60. Well, it would look kind of bad to visit...

while he was busy helping us Dems to win the mid-terms.



I guess he's just not into you, Trump.

[Hekate]

62. Ooo, Vlad doesn't want to see your $12 million parade? He's just not that into you, it seems...

And on a less-catty note, Putin is going to jerk you around in public the same way you like to do with people here -- only much more skillfully and painfully.

[JHB]

63. Womp womp

[bucolic_frolic]

64. Kabuki. Russians know what Trump doesn't.

A second summit would hurt Republicans in the November elections. They are helping Trump by saying this. And making it appear that they and Trump are not on the same side.

[lillypaddle]

65. He has continued to humiliate America

Rejected by NK, rejected by Putin. JFC, get this fucking moron out of office FFS.

[Sugar Smack]

66. It's like trump excitedly piddled on the floor & got his nose

bopped with a rolled-up newspaper.

[R B Garr]

70. Maybe Putin thinks he will be arrested here. Lock him up!

He probably knows he deserves it.

[marble falls]

71. Whomp whomp!

[GulfCoast66]

72. Putin needs to bask in the afterglow of their first meeting

He will call trump when ready for round 2.

[ck4829]

75. LOL

[peacebuzzard]

78. first the brush off by rocket man, now pootie says later, man

tired of winning, asshole?

[Turbineguy]

79. Has trump let the Russians

bug the White House yet?
