(Bloomberg) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. leader Donald Trump will use a brief encounter in Paris to decide when to have a full-scale meeting, the Kremlin said.

“The schedule of the multilateral event doesn’t allow it,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in a voice message as he confirmed that the two leaders won’t hold previously announced talks in the French capital on Sunday on the sidelines of commemorations of the centenary of the end of World War I. “So the two presidents will cross paths and will have the opportunity to agree on when they will conduct a full-scale meeting.”

Trump said Monday that a meeting would “probably not” take place in Paris, though he expected to see Putin at the Group of 20 summit in Buenos Aires at the end of the month “and probably we’ll have a meeting after that.” He didn’t give a reason for the change of plans other than to say he’s “going to be in Paris for other reasons.”

Putin and Trump held their first bilateral summit in Helsinki in July and met for more than two hours on the sidelines of the G-20 talks in Hamburg last year. Both Russian and U.S. officials had said the two leaders intended to hold talks in France, though the Kremlin said last week that the meeting would only be “brief.”
