Secretary Rex Tillerson said at a hearing in the Senate on the deterioration of Russian-American relations. On Tuesday, June 13, according to Reuters.
Responding to a question about Congress of a bill on new anti-sanctions, Tillerson said that “we have a big problem with the Russians… our relations are at a record low and continues to deteriorate. Our goal — to stabilize the dialogue.”
“We are working to establish whether there was a basis to re-establish working relations with Moscow in the fields. Especially make an effort on Syria — said the head of American diplomacy.
On 6 June the President of the United States Donald trump asked the Secretary of state to establish relations with Russia. The head of state advised him to act in the most useful to business terms and not to hurry. The President, according to Tillerson, believes that the scandal around the “trump ties with Russia” must not interfere with real relationships.
Russia has repeatedly accused of meddling in the US presidential election. Such statements, in particular, contained in the published in January, declassified part of the report, which was prepared by us intelligence agencies. It said that Putin personally instructed to arrange a campaign to discredit the Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and win the Republican trump. In Moscow these accusations categorically deny.
