The visit of CIA manager John Ratcliffe to Moscow was regular and was not part of any wider initiative," said US Diplomatic Chief Marco Rubio on Wednesday.
He besides assessed that any Russian support to Iran did not affect Washington's actions.
The State Secretary and National safety Advisor commented in this way on Ratcliffe's visit to Moscow last week, including that it served to inform Russia of the attacks on NATO. Rubio admitted in a radio interview with presenter Fox News Brian Kilmead that he “does not know where these reports come from” due to the fact that there are only a fistful of people who know about the meeting.
- I'm sorry. I'll just say that this journey was mostly routine. This is not unprecedented, despite any geopolitical differences that may divide us. The United States must be able to communicate with Russia from a very applicable point of view. They have the largest, second largest atomic arsenal in the planet - Rubio noted.
