It was unclear if Putin's overture was a formal invitation to Trump. Putin was speaking following a BRICS emerging economies summit in South Africa.
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement Friday that Putin would come to Washington next year. A previous invitation for a summit with Putin this fall was delayed by the administration.
Sanders also said Trump was open to visiting Russia.

“President Trump looks forward to having President Putin to Washington after the first of the year, and he is open to visiting Moscow upon receiving a formal invitation," she said in a statement.
