Lavrov and Trump meet at White House |
The US and Russia will continue working together on various issues, including the conflicts in Syria and Ukraine, Lavrov noted, adding they aim to remove all barriers hindering efficient cooperation.
Meetings between Tillerson’s and Lavrov’s deputies will continue in order to tackle “those irritants that have been artificially planted into our relations,” the Russian foreign minister said.
“We have thoroughly discussed Syria, including those ideas about creating de-escalation zones. We have a shared understanding that this must be a step made jointly to put an end to violence in Syria,” Lavrov said.
Lavrov said that he and President Trump did not touch upon the subject of Russia’s alleged meddling in the US elections in 2016, calling the media hype around the subject an “orgy.”

After being asked about the issue for a fourth time, Lavrov looked somewhat annoyed as he replied that he had “already answered.”
