Witkoff was the last in Moscow on April 25, when he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin.
Last month, Trump said he would impose additional economic measures, including secondary sanctions to Russian fossil fuel export clients, the largest of which are India and China, if Putin did not remember a stop the fire before August 8.
