Darth Bolton to Meet with Vladimir Putin in Moscow Next Week
 [Breitbart] President Donald Trump’s National Security adviser John Bolton will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin when he visits Moscow next week, Kremlin officials announced on Friday.In an interview with Russia’s Channel One broadcaster, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed that Bolton would meet Putin as well as other leading officials. "We are indeed waiting for Bolton to visit Moscow, the meetings are being prepared now. Security Council Secretary [Nikolai] Patrushev is his direct partner," he said. "The Russian Security Council is also preparing for this dialogue. Other meetings are also planned." "It is not the first time that Bolton will meet Putin’s aide on external politics [Yury] Ushakov," he continued. "I cannot rule out contacts in the Foreign Ministry, but we are also preparing a possible meeting with President Putin and we hope that this meeting will take place." Many expect the meeting to involve discussions over another bilateral meeting between Putin and President Donald Trump, although Peskov said that such plans are still just an idea. He also warned that Russia’s efforts to engage in dialogue with the United States have previously run into a "blank wall." Posted by: Besoeker 2018-10-21 |
