The two world leaders are due to meet in the french capital to commemorate the centenary of the end of World War One on November 11, according to Trump’s top national security adviser John Bolton.

Mr Bolton is confident the bilateral meeting “will happen” on the sidelines of the event.

He said: “So we will make the precise arrangements on that, but it will happen in connection with the 100th anniversary and the celebration of the armistice that the French are hosting on November 11.”

The pair last met at a summit in the Finnish capital in July and Trumps security adviser suggested a further meeting may also take place.

He added: “We could also see a fuller meeting like Helsinki somewhere else as well.”

Crucially this will be the first time the pair will meet since Trump singalled his intentions to quit the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty with Russia.

The US President went on a scathing attack and accused the Putin of “violating” the agreement.

He said: ”Russia has not, unfortunately, honoured the agreement so we're going to terminate the agreement and we're going to pull out.

"They've been violating it for many years."

Mr Bolton had a 90-minute meeting in the Kremlin today with Russia giving the indication they will be forced to respond in kind to restore the military balance.

But the top security adviser played down the importance of the US withdrawing from the treaty.

"There's a new strategic reality out there," Mr Bolton said, saying that a Cold War-era treaty no longer met the demands of the world as it is now.

The treaty has lost a lot of its significance as it does not cover countries such as China, Iran and North Korea who remain free to make intermediate-range ballistic missiles and cruise missiles.

He added: ”In terms of filing the formal notice of withdrawal, that has not been filed but it will be filed in due course."
