A top Russian diplomat wants the impending meeting between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin to provide a “turnaround” from U.S. efforts to impose economic sanctions on the Russians.

“There are always opportunities for positive turnarounds,” Sergei Kislyak, the Russian ambassador to the United States, told a Kremlin-run media outlet. “What is needed is the resolve not to miss such opportunities. Let’s see what the U.S. will do for the meeting.”
