Although yesterday's visit of CIA Chief John Ratcliffe to Russia was routine, it can bring some benefit. This was announced today, August 26, by US President Donald Trump on the Glenn Beck radio show.
"He was there with something like a routine visit... something might come out of it," Trump said.
At the same time, he refuted Beck's assumption that the trip was connected with the fact that Putin was going to test NATO's resolve, with sanctions against Iran or with a possible Russian attack on England.
"None of the above," Trump said.
He reiterated once again that Washington is working intensively to ensure that the conflict on Ukraine ended faster.
As reported by EADaily, earlier today the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that Vladimir Putin did not meet with Ratcliffe, but he was informed about the results. At the same time, it is too early to judge how his visit to Russia will affect the process of withdrawal of relations Russia and the USA are out of the deepest crisis.
