“We have no reason to doubt that President Trump understands the benefits for Americans, for American business, for the United States as a whole and for the situation in the world from good relations between the United States and Russia,” Lavrov said at a press conference.

Lavrov also said that at a meeting with Trump, he confirmed Moscow’s offer to Washington to extend the treaty on the reduction and limitation of strategic offensive weapons (START III).

Trump called the meeting with Lavrov very good.
