There are no deals between the U.S. and Russia, the State Department said Wednesday night in response to reports that President Donald Trump was considering returning two Russian diplomatic facilities in the U.S., NBC News reported.
Former President Barack Obama in December had closed the compounds — one in Maryland and one in New York — in retaliation for Russia's alleged meddling in the 2016 election.
The Washington Post had reported Wednesday that the Trump administration was considering handing back the facilities.
"The U.S. and Russia have reached no agreements," said R.C. Hammond, senior communications adviser for the State Department. "The next meeting will be in June in St. Petersburg."
