0:53Now PlayingRussian President Vladimir Putin praised early efforts by his US counterpart Donald Trump to ease years of strained ties as officials held talks to restore staffing at diplomatic missions in their countries.
“The first contacts with the new American administration give us some hope,” Putin said in a televised speech to officers from the Federal Security Service, the main successor to the Soviet KGB. He highlighted what he called Trump’s “pragmatism.”
Thursday’s meeting by diplomats at the US Consul General’s residence in Istanbul came a week after groundbreaking talks between top Russian officials and their American counterparts in Saudi Arabia that are expected to pave the way for a summit between Trump and Putin. The two delegations ended their talks after more than six hours, state news service Tass reported.
Trump has upended US policy on the war in Ukraine by agreeing to talk with Putin about halting the three-year-old Russian invasion, without the involvement of either Kyiv or Washington’s European allies.
