Russian foreign minister to visit North Korea as Trump turns on Putin

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is set to visit North Korea over the weekend as Russia’s relationship with the United States sours.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told reporters on Wednesday that Lavrov would be traveling to the country for a “second round of strategic dialogue at the level of foreign ministers.” The meeting is the latest in a series of high-profile visits of Russian officials to North Korea, something considered unthinkable before the Russia-Ukraine War.
