Kerry and Putin to meet in Moscow

14 July 2016

American Secretary of State John Kerry is to meet Russian president Vladimir Putin on Thursday, according to the Kremlin.

"On Thursday late afternoon (July 14) President Putin will receive U.S. Secretary of State (John) Kerry and (Russian) Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. A set of themes is quite predictable: they include both Syria and Ukraine along with bilateral issues (of Russia and the U.S.)," spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

"It is Lavrov who is Kerry’s counterpart," Peskov noted. "They (Lavrov and Kerry) will be having substantial talks on Friday".

Presidents Obama and Putin spoke by phone last week, with Nagorno-Karabakh on the agenda.

He has sparked a fresh row with Denmark after appointing a special envoy to Greenland.   In response to a question from the BBC about the new role of Jeff Landry, the Republican governor of Louisiana, Trump said the US needed Greenland for "national protection" and that "we have to have it". Trump specifically mentioned Chinese and Russian ships as potential threats in the nearby seas. Greenland, home to about 57,000 people, has had extensive self-government since 1979, though defence and foreign policy remain in Danish hands. While most Greenlanders favour eventual independence from Denmark, opinion polls show overwhelming opposition to becoming part of the US. (click the image to read the full story).
