Kremlin unveils details of Putin-Trump telephone conversation
Pravda ^ | January 30th, 2017 | Unattributed

Posted on 01/30/2017 7:04:18 PM PST by Mariner

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the telephone conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump was productive both in human and political terms.

According to Lavrov, the conversation exercised mutual respect and willingness of the two leaders to work together to support national interests, TASS reports.

"They [Putin and Trump] agreed to continue the work on both the expert level and within the framework of their further contacts that will surely take place, although their timing and details are yet to be agreed upon," said Lavrov.

The work on the expert level will be conducted on a regular basis as soon as Trump's office is finally formed. After that, representatives of the two countries will see to which extent their "common interests" can be turned into "joint mechanisms to solve problems," the Russian Foreign Minister added.

Spokesman for the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, said that the two presidents emphasized mutual respect as a very important principle in bilateral relations.

I’m more interested in the pre-election call between Bill Clinton and Donald Trump.

I agree.

It’s just diplomacy. You get a lot more done with respect than you do with hurling insults.

Even Obama is about to find that out.

There will be plenty of time to disagree if we need to, but why not start out fresh and hope for the best.

I see this as a very good sign.

In time, if things go South, they go South. That’s life.

Oh I agree.

In addition, I think the NeverTrumpers are fit to be tied right now. No way they saw this coming. It’s 100% dead opposite of what they were predicting last year.

This conversation certainly will up set Lindy Graham of SC..

He hates Mr. Putin...I believe he fears what Mr. Putin just might say about him to President Trump...

Graham and McCain both need to resign..they have over stayed their usefulness.

TERM LIMITS NEXT...ALONG WITH VOTER ID...

I don't know. Seems there are more of you Putin butt kissers around these days than normal people. Most of the normal people seemed to have left months ago.
