As noted by US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Christopher Robinson, President Donald Trump “made clear that improving relations with Russia would be in the interest of” American interests.

However, he did not tell what state the issue of working out the summit of the leaders of the countries - members of the permanent five of the UN Security Council is.

“I don’t have anything concrete about the top five, but I believe that this (negotiations. - RT ) reflects broader efforts,” said Robinson, TASS quoted him as saying.

He added that to improve the dialogue, "Russia needs to stop its aggression, whether in Ukraine" and "interference in American internal affairs."

On July 12, spokesman for the Russian President Dmitry Peskov praised the relationship between Moscow and Washington as "out of sorts."

According to him, relations are almost at the bottom point.
