Republicans meet with Russia’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov in Moscow ahead of Trump-Putin summit
A group of Republican lawmakers met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Moscow on Tuesday in hopes of mending the strained relations between the two countries.
The lawmakers’ visit to Russia comes two weeks ahead of the planned July 16 summit in Helsinki, Finland, between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Lavrov met with the group the same day he spoke with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo about the Trump-Putin meeting, as well as issues related to Syria and North Korea, where Pompeo is headed later this week.
