Trump will talk to Lavrov about Ukraine
It is possible that during his upcoming trip to the United States in a few days, the Russian Foreign Minister will meet with President Donald Trump.
Kommersant writes about this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
It is noted that the Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed the study of the visit of the head of the Russian department to the United States. It is planned that Sergei Lavrov will hold negotiations with US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo.
At the same time, the publication’s sources close to the State Department do not rule out that the Russian guest will be received by US President Donald Trump.
“During Sergei Lavrov’s last visit to Washington - in May 2017 - a meeting with Donald Trump was on the program. Russian President Vladimir Putin, as a rule, also always receives secretaries of state visiting Russia. If the visit takes place, Sergei Lavrov will fly to the United States directly from Paris, where a summit in the “Normandy Format” will be held on December 9 with the participation of the heads of Ukraine, Russia, France and Germany. Given this combination of circumstances, Ukrainian issues will most likely receive a lot of attention during meetings in Washington,” the publication believes.
