Sochi Mike Pompeo was clearly looking for a reboot with Russia when he arrived in the southern resort city of Sochi. But in talks that touched on nearly every flashpoint in US-Russian relations, the geopolitical differences between Moscow and Washington remained as stark as ever.
The US Secretary of State met Russian officials on Tuesday at a sanatorium called"Rus", a mansion of marble lavish with fountains and palm trees located some 10 minutes away from Russian President Vladimir Putin's own summer residence."I am here today because President Trump is committed to improving this relationship," he told Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov ahead of a closed-door meeting in the resort city.
