Trump will not fall into the trap of endless negotiations with Russia - Secretary of State

If Russia has a tactic of waiting and dragging out, the US will not be interested in it, and President Donald Trump will not fall into the trap of endless negotiations. This was stated by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio during a briefing in Brussels on Friday, reports UNN.

We are waiting for their position, whether they are ready to end the war, we will soon know whether they are ready... If they (the Russians - ed.) have a tactic of waiting and dragging out, then we will not be interested in it, and President Trump will not fall into the trap of endless negotiations

He stressed that the US will soon know whether Russia is serious about peace.

"If so, it will be great, if not, then we will have to reassess our position and what we will do with it. We are now looking to see if Russia is ready for peace. We are looking at their actions, not words, but actions will show whether they are serious about it," Rubio said.
