Kremlin: Arms control, Iran and Syria on agenda as Pompeo arrives
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo arrives in Russia for talks that are expected to focus on an array of issues including arms control and Iran.
Pompeo lands in the Black Sea resort of Sochi for his first visit to Russia at a time relations between the two countries are at a post-Cold War low.
Pompeo will be sitting down for talks with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov before he meets with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, tells reporters that he expects the meeting to focus on arms control, Iran, Syria, Venezuela and North Korea’s nuclear program.
