Interfax news agency said Witkoff, President Donald Trump's envoy for the Middle East who is increasingly involved in Russian affairs, had left the site of the talks - the presidential library in St. Petersburg, Russia's second largest city.

In a meeting that took place in Moscow, real estate developer Steve Witkoff met with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss the potential for American investment in Russia, particularly in the real estate sector.

Putin, on the other hand, did not comment publicly on the meeting, leaving the specifics of their discussion undisclosed.
