Russia hopes for improving ties with U.S. after Putin-Trump Alaska summit
Russia hopes that the upcoming meeting between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump could help normalise bilateral relations.
According to Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, the Alaska summit could also help advance the resolution of specific issues, including the resumption of direct passenger flights between the two countries.
“We hope that the forthcoming high-level meeting will give an impulse to the normalisation of bilateral relations, which will allow us to move forward on such issues as restoring air links,” Mr Ryabkov said.
Earlier on Monday, Mr Trump said that his upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday would be a “feel-out meeting”.
Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov described the choice of venue as “logical,” noting that the region is where the economic interests of both countries intersect.
