U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo arrives in Russia to meet with President Vladimir Putin.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo flew into the city of Sochi on Russia's Black Sea Tuesday to meet with President Vladimir Putin.
Pompeo first met with Russia's foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, in Sochi. Both men struck an upbeat tone speaking in front of cameras at the start of their talks. The trip was confirmed after Pompeo met with Lavrov last week in Finland's capital Helsinki and the U.S. officials have said they hope Pompeo and Putin will address a broad range of issues, from Venezuela, Iran and Ukraine, to the arms control and efforts to persuade North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons.
In Sochi, Lavrov told Pompeo that the fact they were meeting a second time in two weeks gave ground for a"certain optimism."While Pompeo said he was sure there would be areas where they couldn't find common ground, he said there was successful cooperation in counter-terrorism and that he believed understanding could be found on issues such as arms control and regional conflicts.
Venezuela will also likely dominate Pompeo's meeting with Putin. Russia backs Nicolas Maduro as Venezuela's president, rejecting calls for him to step down by opposition leader Juan Guaido, who the U.S. and many other countries support.
