MOSCOW (AP) – The Kremlin says President Vladimir Putin’s meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson hasn’t produced any positive shift yet in Russia-U.S. relations.
Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Thursday the Russian leader gave Tillerson his view of the causes of the current “deadlock” in bilateral ties.
President Donald Trump declared Wednesday that U.S.-Russia ties “may be at an all-time low,” and Tillerson struck a similar tone after a day of talks in Moscow.
Peskov said Putin’s meeting with Tillerson reflected the “understanding of the need to maintain a dialogue to search for solutions.” He added that there was no talk Wednesday about a possible Trump-Putin meeting.
Asked if the meeting marked any positive change, Peskov said: “Too early yet.”
