18
Today, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will hold talks with US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson during his visit to the United States. It is also known that his meeting with the American President Donald Trump is planned. Recall that during a visit to Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin received Secretary of State Tillerson. Trump, apparently, decided on a similar reception - in relation to the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
Before the trip to the US, Sergey Lavrov convened the Security Council of the Russian Federation, where the most pressing issues of the Russian-American agenda were discussed. Dmitry Peskov's comment on this (quote Interfax):
During the meeting, current issues on the Russian agenda were discussed. In the context of the contacts planned by today, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his American colleagues touched on the subject of bilateral Russian-American relations. There was also an exchange of views on the formation of de-escalation zones in Syria in the light of the signing at the meeting in Astana of the relevant agreement.
In the American media, with reference to the US State Department, they report that Sergei Lavrov will discuss Syria, the Donbass and the relations between Moscow and Washington with the American authorities.
Experts express views on the coordination of Putin’s future meeting with Trump.
As for the visit of the Russian Foreign Minister to the USA, jokes have already appeared on social networks: Having arrived in the US, Sergei Lavrov fired the head of the FBI for a start, and then kindly agreed to accept Donald Trump.
