Trump and Putin Agree to Seek Syria Cease-Fire
Citat:
President Trump and President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia agreed on Tuesday to work together to broker a cease-fire in Syria, as they sought to move past weeks of tension after a chemical attack on Syrian civilians and a retaliatory American cruise missile strike.
Citat:
Still, both sides offered positive assessments of the conversation, with the White House characterizing it as “a very good one” and the Kremlin calling it “businesslike and constructive.” Neither side mentioned the dispute over the chemical attack and cruise missile strike.
Undrar om det var ett sammanträffande att Trump igen gick emot underrätelsetjänster (han sa att det lika gärna kunde ha varit kineserna eller någon annan bakom "hackningen") samtidigt som Putin sa "samma sak" när han träffade Merkel
Citat:
“Things will work out fine between the U.S.A. and Russia,” Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter on April 13. “At the right time everyone will come to their senses & there will be lasting peace!”
Mr. Trump’s effort to ease tensions coincided with a visit to Russia by Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, who met with Mr. Putin in the southern resort city of Sochi.
Citat:
At a news conference with Ms. Merkel on Tuesday, Mr. Putin dismissed allegations that Russia was seeking to influence the political landscape in the West by supporting far-right parties and undercutting mainstream factions. “We never interfere in the political life and the political processes of other countries, and we don’t want anybody interfering in our political life and foreign policy processes,” Mr. Putin said.
