WASHINGTON (AA) - A meeting between US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin "is not completely off the table," White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said Thursday.

"I think the president and the entire administration hopes that one day that can happen again but we want to make sure that there's a tangible positive outcome out of that meeting," Leavitt told reporters.

Trump said Wednesday that he canceled a summit with Putin because "it didn’t feel right" to him.

Separately, the US announced Wednesday new sanctions on Russia’s two largest oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil, citing Moscow’s “lack of serious commitment” to the peace process to end the war in Ukraine.
