Dmitriev, traveled to Washington, D.C., and met with "representatives of the administration of President Donald Trump" Wednesday, and will reportedly hold meetings again with Trump officials Thursday, according to the Telegram post. 

The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for additional comment on the visit. 

The Russian envoy did not specify who in the Trump administration he was meeting. Trump administration special envoy Steve Witkoff has previously cited the Russian official as his primary counterpart when he helped hash out a prisoner exchange deal with Russia in February that led to the release of American teacher Marc Fogel.

The visit comes after President Donald Trump told NBC News Sunday that he was "pissed off" with Russian President Vladimir Putin after the Russian president slammed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's leadership last week. Russia also carried out a series of attacks on Ukraine over the weekend amid ongoing talks to reach a potential peace agreement.

The reported Russia-U.S. meeting came the same week Trump celebrated "Liberation Day," when he unveiled his highly anticipated tariff plan that his administration has said will unshackle the U.S. from its decadeslong reliance on goods from overseas. 

The new tariff plan did not include reciprocal tariffs on Russia – as well as other nations such as Canada and Mexico – with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent saying the United States doesn’t trade with Russia because the nation is sanctioned.
