The State Department says Secretary Pompeo will meet with Russian President Putin next week
The State Department announced Friday that Pompeo would meet with Putin and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Sochi, Russia, next Tuesday. The leaders are expected to have"frank discussions" on a broad range of multilateral and bilateral issues, including arms control, Ukraine, Venezuela, North Korea and Iran, according to a senior State Department official.
Pompeo said he told Lavrov in Finland that election meddling is"not appropriate and that we're going to do everything we can to deter it."President Donald Trump, however, continues to take a soft-handed approach with Russia. Trump and Putin spoke for an hour last week and the US President did not warn his Russian counterpart not to meddle in US elections.
