Washington (CNN) National security adviser Robert O'Brien said Sunday that President Donald Trump will not have an in-person summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin before the November presidential election. "We've rejected that," O'Brien said when asked of such a meeting during an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press." Trump in the last few months discussed the possibility of a meeting with Putin ahead of the November election, two sources close to the White House said. The sources, however, believed that this was Putin's idea and something Trump considered but not something that had been decided on. Pressed later on whether the President has asked for a meeting with his Russian counterpart in the US, O'Brien answered, "No, we're not doing a meeting with Putin in the United States."
