Release of Trump-Putin transcripts needs Russian approval, Kremlin says

• 'If the American send us signals, then we'll discuss it'
• Leaders have held at least 11 phone calls and met in person

The Kremlin has said it would need to give permission for Donald Trump to release details of his one-on-one conversations with Vladimir Putin, a likely target of Democratic lawmakers in an upcoming impeachment inquiry.

Speaking with journalists on Monday, the Kremlin spokesman, Dmitri Peskov, said that the release of summaries or transcripts of the two leaders' discussions - details of which have remained a closely guarded secret - is "only possible with the mutual agreement of both sides".
