“We have sent an invitation and will continue to support discussions at a high level, as evidenced by the talks between the national security adviser (president) with his Russian counterpart, which took place earlier this week,” RIA Novosti Psaki quotes.
She noted that the summit with the participation of the presidents of the two countries could become an opportunity to discuss both areas of their cooperation and disagreements.
On April 21, the deputy head of the US diplomatic mission in the Russian Federation, Bart Gorman, was summoned to the Russian foreign ministry to receive a note announcing that ten employees of the US Embassy in Moscow had been declared persona non grata.
Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry also published a list of retaliatory measures in connection with "hostile actions by the United States."
The US Embassy in Moscow said that they were studying information about the retaliatory measures introduced by Russia and were holding appropriate consultations with Washington.
