Russian FM Stresses on Trump-Kim Meeting
The Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was warned the US administration against any provocative actions aimed at breaking down a possible meeting between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
The Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was warned the US administration against any provocative actions aimed at breaking down a possible meeting between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
“Even when US President Donald Trump said he was ready to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-in and settle all the problems, US presidential administration officials rushed to say that further pressure on Pyongyang was needed as it had backed down,” Lavrov said in an interview with the media. Reported by Tass.
“Such things are not practices in diplomacy. When a meeting is agreed, the sides typically try to cherish such an agreement rather than call for actions that can be seen as provocations aiming to break down a summit,” he added.
Minister also said that Moscow will be glad if a meeting between the US and North Korean leaders, Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un, actually takes place.
Speaking to journalists in Washington on March 8, South Korea’s national security advisor said US President Donald Trump was ready to hold a meeting with the North Korean leader by May 2018.
