US Democratic lawmakers on July 19, 2018, pushed for Congress to subpoena Trump's interpreter, Marina Gross (L), amid a growing sense of alarm over the private summit in Helsinki between Trump and Putin.

MOSCOW – The Kremlin said on July 24 it had received a U.S. invitation for President Vladimir Putin to hold a summit with President Donald Trump in Washington at the end of this year, but said there were other chances for the two men to meet as well.

Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said Washington and Moscow agreed there was a need for another Putin-Trump meeting after last week’s summit in Helsinki, but said Russia had not yet begun any practical preparations for a new summit.
