The meeting of the United States President Donald Trump and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was not planned and no new agreements will be adopted.
This is in a blog for the "Observer" said Russian political scientist Dmitry Oreshkin.
"It was assumed that Lavrov will meet with the equal in status Tillerson, the head of the State Department, and Trump decided to raise rates," writes Oreshkin.
According to him, the American leader's meeting with the Russian minister only demonstrates a new open style of US policy.
"Its meaning is demonstrative. In fact, the agenda is not formed, it is unclear - what to talk about. Usually, if this is a serious, not demonstrative action, but real agreements, then it's all a long time and it's rather difficult to discuss at the expert level, "Oreshkin said..
The Russian political scientist notes that Trump is actually only probing the ground, studying what can be said and what one can not talk about.
"I do not think there are any new agreements, no new changes to be expected .... To see, talk, shake hands with each other, and this will all end. Probably, within the framework of this openness he will meet with Putin, and there may be something concrete, "- concluded Oreshkin.
As reported by the "Observer", Lavrov went to Washington on May 9. Visit of the Russian Foreign Minister to the US capital will continue until May 11.
