Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.
He said Trump would go ahead with the meeting "regardless of political criticism", the medium added.
The two leaders have met twice before on the sidelines of worldwide gatherings and spoken at least eight times by phone. He frequently dismissed suggestions of Russian interference in the 2016 election as a politically motivated effort to delegitimize him, tweeting about it shortly before the summit date was officially announced Thursday.
"Even small steps in reducing tensions would be in everybody's interest", remarked Finnish President Sauli Niinistö, who said he hoped Putin and Trump would discuss arms control and heed his own concerns about tensions in the Baltic Sea region.
The summit is being seen by some as an attempt by Putin to try to lift some of the sanctions imposed on Russian Federation after it annexed Crimea in 2014, its support of Ukrainian separatists and alleged meddling in the 2016 United States presidential elections.

Moscow says the top Russian and U.S. diplomats are likely to meet to set the stage for a summit between President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump.
The summit meeting is expected to include a one-on-one meeting between Trump and Putin, a working breakfast, and a joint news conference, Kremlin foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov told reporters. He said many European politicians had met the Russian leader.
"Both President Trump and President Putin feel that it's important for these two leaders of these two critically important countries to get together and discuss their mutual problems and areas of co-operation", Bolton said. The country also hosted a summit between U.S. President George H.W. Bush and Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev in 1990. "I believe that to a great extent this is the result of a bitter internal political struggle in the USA". He is willing to accept Putin's denials, despite what the intelligence community has told him, because he wants to believe that the entire Russian Federation story - from meddling through collusion - is, well, trumped up. He said, "getting along with Russian Federation and with China and with everybody is a very good thing".
"Keep in mind, the Russians said if you bomb Assad this is the beginning of World War III".
"The announcement will be made at 3:00 pm (1200 GMT)", Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in comments carried by news agencies. I think we'll be talking about Ukraine.
"I don't think that we expect necessarily any specific outcomes or decisions", the national security adviser said.
