According to Huntsman, he spoke with O'Brien last week.
The diplomat noted that Trump’s new adviser is very interested in establishing a dialogue with Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev.
“I think so, but so far I have nothing to announce. I can only say that the visit will take place sooner rather than later, ”Huntsman answered the question whether O’Brien’s visit to Russia is expected.
Trump previously nominated Robert O'Brien as his new National Security Assistant.
